GMC Jimmy T Case problem - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I have a 1997 GMC Jimmy and I cant figure out what the deal is with my Tcase. I can switch to 4 Hi or 4Lo anytime I want, the trick is going back into 2 wheel drive...the Tcase is stuck in 4 wheel and I cant get out, any help will be appreciated

I have a 2000 chevy crew cab that has the same problem. If you just back up after you put it in 2wd about 15ft it will work

wes8517, yeah that used to work and thats when I knew that I had a problem, it will finally just stop and never go back into 2 wheel drive...I found mine on ebay for cheap !!
