When I got off work today it was misting rain and 25 degrees. On the way to pick the granddaughter up from school the roads became a mess of black ice. The truck was like a pig on ice. I had to put it in 4wd just to take off from a stop light. A short while later a car slid through a stop sign and I went into maybe a 30ft slide doing my best not to T-bone her. I could feel the anti lock brakes pulsating and it did get me stopped although I was facing north and needed to go west. I turned the wheel sharp to straighten up and it kind of crab walked a little with me and seconds later I got a message that said service the 4wd. I could tell by the way that I was able to take off that it was still in 4 wheel. When I got off the main road and on my gravel drive I stopped and put the truck in neutral. It has the knob on the dash and I turned it to two wheel and I could not tell if it came out of 4wd or not. The lights on the knob did nothing. I then tried to select N or 4 wd low and it would do neither. What do I need to check and where do I go from here. The truck still drives in what I think is 2 wheel drive hi at this time. It is still icing outside and I don't have a clue if it will work for me in the morning or not. My old 86 Chevy I had for years would go about anywhere in 2 wheel. Not so with this 08 Duramax, It spins like Oprah on a banana peal on a slick surface. I have had to use 4wd on wet grass with this truck. Thank for any advice. Paul

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
