Okay, so the truck is a 88' with the 241 transfer case I think. 4X4 worked PERFECT prior to me pulling the t-case and changing both the front output and rear output bearings. I had the case completely apart and didn't notice anything wrong, re assembled it and had no misses left on the bench when I was done. The same day I put it back in the truck I also added a 3 inch body lift and didn't hook the linkage back up until I was done this. As it sits right now when in 4lo the lever sits pretty well right at N and when I try and go into 4HI it hits the end of the console. It engages 4LO with no problems but after driving for a few seconds it randomly pops out into neutral. When I try and put it in 4hi the light wont come on but the front yoke on the t-case spins with the back. (no front shaft and rear wheels off the ground) but the front diff doesn't engage. The actuator is working obviously because 4lo will engage.
Today I went under the truck and disconnected the linkage completely.. I shifted the t-case into 4hi with a wrench and you can feel it go in and the front yoke engages for sure but still the front diff wont engage. A friend of mine says its linkage but I dont think thats possible at this point because the lever doesn't actually lock it anywhere.
I wanna go wheeling on Sunday but if I cant get this fixed I guess im out!!
