Default After shutting down in 4wd and starting in 2wd - Thunk from the front
My second post about my new to me 2008 FX4 automatic.

As the title states:

I live on a bumpy dirt road and the final hill to my house I switch to 4wd. After shutting the truck off and turning the switch to 2wd, when I start the truck again in 2wd, there's a 'thunk' that I'm guessing is something disengaging the 4wd.

Is this normal or do I have repairs in my future?

TIA

Switch it to 2wd before you kill the engine, the thunk will still be there, but probebly not noticed.
