Is it still driving, but the front wheels aren't working? Let me know, I Just repaired one of those. But in my case, the front wheels were binding to, always staying locked.

No, the transfer case is in the neutral position. I can push the vehicle to get it to roll.

Solved my own problem, if I would have looked closer I would have saw that the bushing holding rod into shift arm had popped out. Thank you for your time.

THIS SOMETHING THAT HAS A RETAINER OF SOME SORT OR DOES IT SIMPLY RELY ON BEING POPPED INTO PLACE?

ON CJs COTTER PINS CAPTURE THE LINKAGES

MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD THING TO HAPPEN AGAIN IN A DESPERATE, DIRTY, OR SCUBA TYPE SITUATION

IF IT'S NOT RETAINED, COULD IT BE. SEND PICS I MAY CAN OFFER SUGGESTIONS
