4x4 works but coming back to 2wd tricky

Some TC's respond better to a slow roll while the transmission is in neutral or clutch depressed. This would be for 4 hi to 2 hi. 4 lo to 2 hi should *generally* be performed while stopped in neutral.

Again, any front to rear driveline binding will make TC shift operation difficult.

Are your tires the same diameter more or less at all four corners?

I may be tootaly wrong, but don't you have to back up to disengage the transfer case? I've had 4 k5's and 1 86 burb 4x4, and i recall having to backup 8 to 10 feet to disengage it, but that's been years ago.
