You need to confirm the centre diff isn;t unlocking first, jack it up, stick it in neutral and see if a wheel turns

Don't get me wrong i don't want to pull anything apart.
I will jack it up and have a play. I may pm JC and see what he thinks.
Thanks for your inputs as i said i have know idea. Thanks again Brett

Jacked it up and put the t/c in neutral and both shafts moved. Cross axle they where going in opposite directions as they should. So am i right in saying that the cdl is still engaged???.

i think it is time for you to find your way to the top of the box and see what is happening with the cdl lever in each position.
then you can try to disengage it if you see that the linkage isn't doing it -
if the thing appears to be disengaging, by reference to the lever movement at the box, then i think you have no alternative to dropping the transfer case off the car.
there aren't any holes you can look in to see if the thing is working.
the spare on the auto box should fit = although i may be wrong on that.

you may need to ship in some beer to assist you with the removal of the t/case, or red wine, as these substances can have a calming effect in the right quantities.

If you jack up one wheel and put the gearbox in nuetral you should ba able to turn the wheel that is off the ground, with the cdl disengaged.

Yep. Unless he has a locked locker on that axle, which is unlikely.

Mmmm, you sense make much not so

First of all (well not really cause I;d be on a hoist) I'd slip it into neutral, jack a wheel up, does it turn? if yes, centre diff is unlocked

If no, Jack a front and a rear up, do the front and rear tailshafts turn in opposite directions? if yes, centre diff is unlocked

If both tailshafts turn in the SAME direction( now lets clarify this a little, looking front the front or rear, when you turn a wheel, do they BOTH turn in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction?) , its locked, so then you need to find out why

Have front and rear lockers which are not locked.
