Ok, It's been a year and I finally got to work on this thing.
What I found: Transfer case motor stuck in 4 Hi. Explains shitty gas mileage. Driver side hub doesn't engage. Passenger side doesn't disengage. Amazing my son drives this to school every day. So I replaced the transfer case motor. Did the quick and dirty to turn this into push button style manual hubs. Drivers side works great, but passenger side still sticking. I forced some grease into the splines and tried to work it a bit. It loosened up some but still sticks.
My questions:
Is this easy to take apart to clean up and grease the splines? Does it require a special tool to disassemble?
I plan on getting a real manual locking hub kit for it soon and going to clean up and grease the splines at that time.
