may have broken transfer case
Ug. I changed the front and rear diff fluid today and also the tranny
fluid and transfer case fluid. Figured it was a good time to go get
muddy. I locked my front hubs while still at home and then drove to
the trails a few miles away. As I entered them I figured I'd leave it
in 2WD until I needed 4WD. Well, I immediately got into the middle of
a pretty big puddle and got stuck. Like an *idiot* I hit 4-LOW while
the engine was still revving kinda high... It crunched but went into
4-LOW. I started trying to get out of the puddle but noticed neither
of my front tires were spinning. I double checked and both of my hubs
were locked and I was in 4-LOW, but no power to the front wheels. I
used my winch to get out and went straight home. Gonna let the mud
dry and let myself cool off before taking a look, but I'm afraid of
what I'll find. :-(

Yay! Yes, I'm an idiot, but not for breaking the transfer case. I
just put the Jeep up on jackstands and then put it into 4-LOW and very
slowly, carefully let the clutch out. Got out and looked and only one
back tire was turning. Looked at the front output shaft on the
transfer case and it wasn't turning. Not good. So I thought about it
and realized that I hadn't actually tested the 4WD stuff out since
putting the lift on... So I removed the transfer case shifter boot
and could see that there was still about an inch more of travel that
the shifter could make as long as the boot wasn't in place. I shoved
it back that extra inch and *clunk* it dropped all the way into 4-LOW
and immediately the front driver's side tire started spinning (as soon
as I let the clutch out, that is). So basically I need to do some
work on the shifter for the transfer case to get it to where it can
engage all of the gears. I can handle that. :-)
