So, does anyone know if you can flat tow a 4 wheel drive chevy with the T-case in neutral and not fock everything up???

That would disengage the transmission, but I don't know if it would burn up the T-case.

My 93 Blazer... I'll need to tow it back, when I go get the motorhome in a couple weeks.

If that won't work with the T-case, I'll just take the driveline loose and tie it up.

Edited because now I'm not sure :stupid

Hows the trailer, the truck towing the trailer, you and your Blazer, hodge podge going to make it to NM? I'm guessing the guys coming here to get the trailer. Or is this turning into one of those "Zany Road Trips of Sleekjet" episodes

I'm getting the trailer shipped out next week. Cost was comparitive to me taking the trailer out and having to drive two vehicles back. Not to mention the fact I would have to find someone to go with me. The guy in NM is splitting the cost of getting it shipped with me. :good

Hopefully no zany road trip stories this time around. :rolleyes

The people that I've talked to all say that it can be done, but not recommended. Most said they they would pull the rear drive shaft and put the front on a tow dolly, or put the whole truck on a trailer. They said that the tranfer case won't get the lubrication that it'll need........
