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 - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
