I was pulling some logs with the truck yesturday,
i put it 4 low and hooked to a log, the back tires was the only ones that spun. The indacator showed it was in 4low. so i put it in 4 high then all 4 tire spun. How is that?
I did drive it fowards and backwards after i put it in 4 low, so the gears could line up.

You need to remove the 4wd actuator and check to see if it is fully operational. I am assuming that when you were in 4 lo, the rear tires were in low gear, but as you said, the fronts didn't turn.
