If it's the Selectrac 242 transfer case, remove the front driveshaft. If it's Quadratrac, just drive it for a month.

Like I said, it depends on the case. The constant 4wd (Quadratrac II) will be damaged by doing this. The Selectrac 242 case, the one with the 2wd option, is okay to drive without a front shaft. Most of the 6's have the 242 case.
I think the other case is the 249 and that has a viscous clutch in it that can overheat without a front shaft and fixing that is expensive.
