Exactly like the cards in the bicycle wheels.

But I 'm not worried about that. I know what that is.
I am hoping that it is not the t-case- obviously. It will not disengage the 4lo lock button- the 4hi will flash when pressed in neutral but will not engage. The gears on the asphalt coming back seemed to be slow or altered even considering it was in 4lo. We did it manually the last block.
But I am still hopeful that it is a computer issue- disconnections of sensors for the abs and ds tire causing it to lock in the current mode. Wishful I know- but t-case sounds worse than CV joint or axel shaft to me.
The boot on the PS front tie-rod has been cracked and the rubber accordion-like grease holder up next to the DS front tire (excuse the lack of tech term) is leaking.
