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.
