I have the new 2005 with the dial on the dash. First time out, I put had it in 4WD Hi and went to Low. Since I did not read that part in the manual, I turned the dial, slammed in into drive, and the whole transfer case reset itself to 2WD leaving me perplexed on steep hill climb. Since then, I've read the manual and have had the X in 4WD low many times. what I've noticed is that you have to put it in Nuetral and wait for the solenoids to finish there clunking. The light will start flashing, meaning that the transfer case is out of lock, but the front end has not diengaged. Sometimes it takes a 100 feet for it to loosen enough for the springs to disengage it, or I will roll back in Nuetral a couple of feet and that usually does the trick. No worries and nothing to be alarmed at. I've had both the old X lever and now the new X dial. Both are very good and solid off road.
