if you drain the fluid and there are metal parts in it or if you turn on the 4x4 and u here like a grinding or bag of change in it and see if the front drive shaft is spinning then go from there

If it just isn't disengaging all the way it could be your linkage needs to be adjusted.

Your symptom sounds familiar to a problem I have. Do you have the NP242 or NP231 case?
