Thank you all for the input. I went home yesterday and tried it with the transfer case in all the different possitions 2, 4, 4L nothing. It acts like its in neutral (clutch car with clutch pushed in yes) everywhere in every gear with transfer case in any position. I did plow with it after the...

Hello everyone, I've been a member for a long time but never had the need to post. There is so much helpful information I can usually find what I need. So I have an 85 M1008 here in Maine that I plow with. Its always run great and pushed snow like a beast. This past storm I got in, 5am, and...
