Like your transfer case (NP-208) getting stuck in 4wd twice 2 weeks!!!! The first time I didn't get home in time when the chain snapped and took out part of the case with it. Fortunately, the breakage happened right in front of my house so I didn't have far to drive. Now it has happened again and I'm not sure why. As far as I know there isn't any serious damage, but I haven't pulled apart the case yet. I'm hoping nothing broke, but I'm very confused about the whole situation. I adjusted the linkage according to the Haynes manual. The one drivability issue with my Burb was the tires were a little out of balance which was really noticeable around 65-70 mph. Could that be the main cause or is it just another case of bad luck? I'm seriously considering converting over to the Rockwell transfer case I have sitting in my shop or maybe try and find an NP-205. Guess I'll have to park the Burb for a little while longer.

Thanks....had to vent.
