Thanks so much! There's an AutoZone nearby too. Will pick them up tomorrow.

Went and picked this up yesterday.

Then I tore out the old one today.

Tomorrow Ill install the functioning Transfer Case and if I have time Im going to start to tear down the old one to find out what was wrong with It. Ive always been curious how they work too so Ill make a little "Transfer Case Talk" topic and take some pics.
I looked everywhere in the forum for answers about the problem I was having. I didnt find many answers, so Maybe Ill be able to help someone else in the future.

Well I finally got my sway arm linkages and bushings replaced. I succeeded in smashing my finger, and I learned that the link on the drivers side wasnt linked, it sheered off at the top. I had to use a grinder to get them off from both sides because they were stock. Then since I had time I changed oil, rotated the tires, and checked for a loose muffler. I thought it was a pretty productive Saturday. All I need are shocks (front for sure) and an alignment and The Wild Thing will be ready for winter. Then today filled it up ($38) and had it washed then drove home from my Dad's. Tomarrow back to driving 80-125 miles a day for work...

Installed my Pojectors and HID's, they look great. Didn't do the turn signal/markers yet cause i ran out of time. Snapped my hood latch cable too so I ordered a new one.

I'll post pics in my build thread as soon as it's dark enough to take some.

heard there might be some snow on its way so ive got the front axle locked in. my vac switch on the transfer case is messed up and i get full vacuum all the time no matter what mode the transfer case is in. so i bypassed the switch and put a valve in so that during the 9 months i dont need 4wd, i can get a little better milage not turning the ring gear & front driveshaft. only downside is that the valve is under the hood, but its on now and probly will stay that way now until march. when i checked the front axle level a few days ago, the front took 1/2 qt to top off, guess it was lower than i thought, and it doesnt hold much more than 2 qts. i know ive got a slight leak at the passenger side axleshaft, did the drivers side seal back last fall. i'll just keep a eye on the oil level and fix it right in the spring. i hate not having a inside area to work on stuff. locked the manual hubs on the ranger as well. (and its got a leaking pinion seal on its front diff!)

Checked the status of my Rockauto order today. Looks like my plugs and cap/rotor will be here tomorrow, so hopefully that fixes my problem! The CEL has been on/off a couple times in the past few days so I'm really confused.
