Question about transfer case

[Garbear]

I am stuck in 4 wheel drive, so I installed warn manual hubs so I could at least drive the Ex with the hubs on free wheel. How much damage or wear will happen if I am engaged 4X4 but free wheeling? Or will everything be ok except for a little poorer gas milage?? TIA, Gary

clean your shift motor, shuuld make things better, there is a thread here how to do it search for it.

I cleaned the shift motor, but it still didn't work, I just need to know how long I can go until I can replace the motor without killing my transfer case.

Driving in 4WD in everyday conditions is going to tear apart your transfer case.

Garbear, you should be able to pop the shift motor off and manually shift the truck out of 4x4 with a vice grip or wrench.
