Tonight I parked it outside the garage to move some things around. I tried pulling it into the garage a few hours later and it won't stay in high range. Even if I hold the shifter there the gears just grind. It is like the lever won't go all the way back. I tried jamming it in while in neutral with no change. It will stay in low range, but that would make for a painful commute I had a problem a couple of years ago where the lever was stuck in high-range. I unbound the driveline and whacked on the t-case shifter several times to free it and haven't had an issue since then. Crawling under it, the t-case doesn't appear to have shifted. Thoughts? Is there something internal that could be wrong? I don't think my rear-seat passenger kicked it, and even if he had that would bend the lever forward making low-range difficult, not high. What is weird is that the lever won't even move back into high range. It moves between low-range and almost into high-range as it always has. I wonder if the detent was somehow damaged. I drained the fluid (~10k miles) and it is light gray and there is some fuzz on the magnet, but not enough to be alarming to me. -Tad | ||

I'm planning to pull the t-case on Thursday. I'll let you all know what I can find. -Tad | ||
