Am I getting old ....

You're just getting old....(hehehehe) But then so am I because my recollection says you are right and the T-case should disengage on the fly. However automatic hubs will usually require that you back up about 10-15 feet before they will disengage...well until they just fail like most autos do.

Yeah, if I read my users manual correctly, you can hit the button on the dash and "disengage" the transfer case, but your auto hubs will still be locked so everything up front is still spinning. You need to do that whole "finding a spot you can back up 30 feet" routine to fully disengage.

As far as engaging, I believe if everything on your bronco is in good working order you can shift into 4H as long as your under 45mph, for 4L you need to be stopped and in neutral.

If you got a big enough strain (driveline windup), the T-case won't shift back to 2WD until the tension is relieved.

I got a 91 silver annivesary that does the exact same thing. Drives me nuts!! I'm half tempted to convert to manual hubs.
