1999 Expedition NO 4X4

[dwobbe]

I have a 1999 Expedition. Have AWD/4H/4L option only. AWD works fine, when I shift to 4H or 4L the electric motor on the transfer case shifts. When it goes to 4H or 4L the front drive shaft goes nutruel. I put the truck on 4 jack stands to confirm. Is my transfer case bad or "hopefully" something simple????

you hear the transfer case trying to engage 4wd? if you hear that, and it is still not engaging, sounds like t-case to me. sorry bud.

sounds like your chain is not engaging. transfer case is done.

Yeah the Tcase goes into low and the electric motor on the t case is moving the rod between awd and low. I am thinking of hitting up the wwrecking yard to find another Tcase. Have you pulled a Tcase apart before to fix? Not sure if that would ultimately be cheaper?

Thanks for the input, not what I wanted to hear, but it is what it is. Your expedition is nice! Looks alot like my Excursion I just sold, all black limited. Wishing I had her back right now. Damn!
