Transfer Case Stuck in 4x4; help!

A couple days ago I noticed a noise which was going with the rythm of my tires spiining. It stopped when the vehicle stopped. I got out and had someone pull it forward and backwards while I looked underneath it and noticed that the front driveshaft was spinning as the truck moved. It was not shifted into 4x4.

I tried locking the hubs to see if 4x4 still worked and it did. I think the transfer case is just stuck somehow.

Has anyone had this problem?

I have a 1989 Ford Bronco full size with and AOD transmission and manual loccking hubs with manual shift transfer case.

Have you tried backing up 100 feet to see if it would disengage? I had to do it in mine once even though I have manual hubs.

I hadn't tried that. If it is as simple a fix as that, tha would be great.

anybody got any other ideas or suggestions on this problem? I plan on going home this evening and driving in reverse down my street. If that doesn't work I was thinking I would just have to pull the transfer case and bring it somewhere to get looked at; maybe rebuilt.
