ever have the windsheild replaced? (serious question) sounds like GEM possible. If your in a tight spot and need to get in 2wd you can take off the switch motor and manually move it to 2wd. On the 98 it is labled under the seal of the switch motor. If your in 4lo you may have to jack it and put it in neutral if the transfer case is locked. Problem is, unless you get the switch motor to move , you can't put it back on to keep garbage out of the t-case. don't force it, if it is like the 98 it has a worm gear reduction.
