We just had the first snow of the season. So I get in my Jeep and ready to hit the unplowed road. It will not go into any 4 wheel mode. I searched the Forum and it didn't look good.
After the snow and ice melted off the underside I looked the transfer case over. I was ready to remove the TC but I put a pair of Vise Grips on the shaft coming out of the c. Hey it moved a little! So I sprayed the rusted linkage with PB Blaster. After a couple of beers I sparayed it again. After two more beers I jumped in the front seat and now the lever moved. I worked it back and forth a couple of minites and now it works like new!

Now I will move this lever once a month from now on! This was an easy fix! Live and learn![COL]OR="Blue"[/COLOR]

Yeah thats a common problem in anything 4x4 when its not used things rust in place.Everything 4x4 i ever owned i always use it once a month for a block or two just to keep everything in working order.
