Gotta get under there and pull it out...internals need help

Might sound like a dumb question but: are all your tires the same size?  I've seen trucks bang out of 4 whell for that simple reason.  If they are I'd say either linkageor, slipping chain in the case.

[Rick_Bear]

A suspension and/or body lift can cause it to pop out and/or not fully engage

yes tires are all 31x10.5x15

is it possable for me to rebuild it or should i just look for a new one

[hillbilly]

xj 231's are cheap enough, you can get one at eich's for like $75. id just get a new/used one.

I would second the not re-build it if you can get one cheap.  I'm in the process of overhauling a 241 TC and it is not the most straightforward job, but it is saving me be big bucks in that case.  $200-$300 would definitely be worth not tearing into one.
