[mdl] 3:10 pm: i was out w/ the dirt bikes today
[mdl] 3:10 pm: into the woods
[mdl] 3:10 pm: so i had my jeep in 4 high
[mdl] 3:10 pm: well on the way back i didnt take it out of 4 high
[mdl] 3:10 pm: and i drove home about 30 miles
[mdl] 3:10 pm: mixed speeds 0-55/60
[mdl] 3:11 pm: and now when i pull in i notice that its in 4 high still i go oh shit and i go to put it back into 2 but there is no tension on the shifter
[mdl] 3:11 pm: so i can easily just move it back and forth between 4 high and 2
[mdl] 3:11 pm: without any resistance





so far I need to check the linkage, what else could it be?
 
Linkage was popped out. Put her back in problem is hopefully solved. thanks for help.

if you have command trac(which I suspect you do),I think you got lucky....count your blessings.This usually ends up in a loud bang and the need for a new t-case.

Yep. On dry pavement with an NP231.

If he'd done anything that excessively wound-up the drivetrain, I'm sure he would have noticed, and popped it out of 4wd much sooner.
