Help Help No more 4WD

I wouldn't give up or be too pessimistic even if it is worse case (transfer case). I found a spare used one through this site for cheap. All I needed was the flange to have a custom double Cardin driveshaft made from High Angle Driveline, but plan on keeping the spare t-case as a spare. Good used t-cases should be available somewhere around the country, keep us updated, I hope it turns up not too bad to resolve.

Here's what I was able to check so far. I squeezed the CV boots like I was a teenager getting to second base for the first time and felt nothing out of the norm (no loose part in there). I did as PK advised and jacked up one tire at a time. I turned each tire and saw the CV axle turning on each one and also each one turning the front drive shaft. I shook and twisted the front drive shaft by hand and got almost no movement (so that's good too). While I was under there, I also his the U-joint and other grease points. The only thing I wasn't able to do was drain and refil the T-case fluid. I don't have a pump or anything handy to gravity fill it. Later tonight I am going to try filling it with a squeezeball pump from the gas line on an outboard (yes, of course I will make sure it's dry first) and see how that goes. Any other ideas?
