Flat towing with a 1354 manual tcase

So I want to tow my 2000 Explorer 4x4 from CA to MO via tow bar behind a Uhaul. from what I've read so far. Transmission (auto) in neutral, transfercase (1354 manual) in neutral. I shouldn't need to pull the driveshaft as a lot of Jeep owners do, because the oil pump in the tcase is driven by the rear driveshaft output, as per http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/pdf_documents/1354_Manual_TCase.pdf:



According to uhaul, however, if a 91 ranger 4x4 were to be towed on a tow dolly, the rear drive shaft would need to be removed.

Any insight on this?

You are correct, U-haul is wrong.

However I'm a bit confused as to what you're towing... A '91 Ranger? or a '00 Explorer? :confused:

If the Explorer, I don't believe that year ever came with a manual t-case. So unless you've swapped one in, you'll need to pull the driveshaft on that (might need to pull BOTH driveshafts, as the front will still be turning also).
