Howdy guys, long time no post. Hope you didn't run
out of change yet. :)
From non-use of 4WD, I can't pull the lever to go
to 4WH from 2WH. Is it easy to lube the linkage or
am I way overdue for a rebuild at 95,000 miles?
Last time it worked, I tried 4WL and something was
scraping so I went back to 4WH. My Jeep also makes
a gear noise when moving. Could it be xfer case?
What's a good $$ to have it done. I don't have the
tools or space to do it.

Could be as simple as linkage slipping or something
"really bad." Hard to tell without looking.
Best thing I have http://bit.ly/15nleKU

If that's the fix then you really only need a couple
of wrenches. An assistant doesn't hurt either.
Remember to have the wheels blocked and emergency/parking
brake set. Nothing sucks more than your vehicle trying to
run you over.

4WL should only be used on sand/gravel or really slippery

surfaces. It will make lots of noise on hard pavement
and is not a good idea to run it that way for any
time. (won't kill it outright but it will put stress
on everything)

It was in the middle of a snowstorm and I wanted to use low

to go down that hill. I ended up turning around and going
the other way which ended being a blessing. Seems no one
was getting up the other side of that hill and it was all
backed up!
