I bought a '96 Jeep Cherokee sport a week ago for cheap. It's already lifted, welded rear and locked up front etc etc....the transfer case grinds really bad in 4hi position and you can put it the transmission in gear and the Jeep will not move. This is at a dead stop with the transmission in neutral. I have not tried putting it in 4hi while moving and a few people have said that may help a lot I just haven't had the chance to do it. It will go into 4lo just fine and pulls great in 4lo. What could be the issue with it? I'm not too worried because if I need 4x4 I never go for 4hi any way I just put it in low range. Is the transfer case busted or could it be something simple? If I ran it as is and just used 4lo would everything be okay?
