on the Tcase i would check to make sure something isn't preventing it from going all the way into 4low. my shifter actually touched the trans tunnel cover so i ground some off and it's okay now. been a common thing on here for years. stuff settles or whatever and it can kick it out of low, that's what mine was doing on bumps. what gear oil did you put in the case? i prefer valvoline racing oil, like a mix of 50w and 30w. seems to work best for me. sure sounds to me like the 4low is not fully engaged.

Ditto. For some reason or another your t-case isn't shifting completely into 4lo. I would guess slop in the linkage is causing the front axle shift rail to not fully engage .

Well the shift lever knob ends up about 1" from the hood release knob. But I will definatly drop it and check it out after the weather gets warm. I'm glad to hear it's not probably a broken gear or anything major.

what thier saying is to pull the boot up and shift into 4lo and make sure the shifter is not hitting the body. Or that it's hitting the boot.

So after all the discussion, what was found to be wrong???

So irritating when a thread ends so abruptly. After all the advice given, couldn't even take the time to let us know what fixed what...
