Hi all, original owner of 1999 XLT SOHC, 190K miles,
Yesterday all of a sudden, the truck does not want to move when making turns.
My first thought was the transfer case is locked up.
Disconnected electrical connections to the TC motor , but still locked up.
I then removed the front driveshaft and now all is well. Does this mean my transfer case is toast?
I changed the fluid in an attempt to hopefully flush contaminants out. I’ll drive around for a bit and see if it hopefully un-locks it, but in the event this doesn’t fix it , is the only choice to get another transfer case?
Also is it safe to drive without the front driveshaft ? I heard rumors the car can drift in park but from what I can tell, the truck doesn’t move when I put in park.
