Fluid is fine, unhooked the linkage and have it pushed into 2wd manually as far as it will go. I've backed up several times with no result. when turning it is choppy as if it is still engaged. Thoughts? Oh, it has 311k on it. Haha

How are your front u joints. It's not being in 4wd that's the problem when the front hops. The ujoints are binding. They bind earlier when power is applied.

No problem. I thought the same thing when mine went out.
