Hey guys, when I'm not using the four-wheel shifter at all, in other words when I'm just using the standard two-wheel drive, I put the transfer case shifter in neutral right?

 

No, put it in 2H. Neutral is neutral, you go nowhere.

 

Unless you are on a hill LOL.

 

touche', lol

 

From my 1979 Owner's Guide: With transfer case in N (neutral) The automatic transmission P (park) function is inoperable. Do not leave the vehicle unattended with transfer case in N (neutral).

What this means in English is that your truck will roll because you have unlocked the drivetrain to spin freely. As others have pointed out, you will go nowhere fast with the T-case in neutral.

 

I just went to the truck to check and Yea, you guys were absolutely right. I honestly thought I'd put the floor shifter in N (neutral), but no, it's in 2H. In my defense N and 2H are right next to each other, I just wasn't familiar enough with it yet to know. Thanks guys.

And thanks for that info 1978f-250. Now I know why I was getting a grinding sound when trying to put it in park. Transfer case was in N (neutral)
