I locked my front hubs and then put the 4 wheel drive shifter into 4x4. When I got home and went to put it back into regular rear wheel drive, the shifter wouldnt budge. I can move it to other 4x4 options, but not rear wheel drive. It has done this one other time and I am unsure of what I need to do to fix it.

Hey PUP,
I would verify that the linkage to the x-fer case is free, if it is I would start to look at the x-fer case itself. Let us know!
