99 Expedition Transfer case

Hello thank you for having me on the forum.
I have a 99 Eddie Bower edition and I was driving down the road then all of a sudden it at a stop light it wouldn't move. I can hear it changing gears but it will not engage. I had a guy come hook up his computer and he said it was the transfer case. I was wondering if I need to replace the entire transfer case or can I just get a new motor or maybe something came loose? When I looked under the truck it looks like the drive line is slipped out about a 1/4" any suggestions???
Thank you

Something snapped inside the t-case, so you're either going to pull it apart to see what's wrong and repair it or just grab one from a junkyard and swap it out.

Thank you

I'm going to have it pulled and open it up. I'm hoping that I can just fix it. I don't want to have too get a new one. How hard are they to pull? Do I need a transmission jack to safely lower it? I've worked on plenty of engines but never this before.

They're not as heavy as an automatic transmission and you can lower them with a floor jack. You've just got to do some balancing with it.

That's good to know. I was told that there was a swing arm that swung it out and down. I thought that may have been a crock.

Someone is probably thinking of the torsion bar that has to be removed.

Anyway, here is the procedure so you can see what to do.
