#$%%^ manual! It says "With the vehicle rolling at 2-3 mph, shift the
transmission into neutral...shift the transfer case lever firmly into 4L"

Um...ok. I remember following the FSM when I did my tranny swap and it had
the wrong torque specs for the flex plate to converter (stripped that
bad-boy really good-like!) But if the tranny is in neutral, why would it
matter if the truck is moving or still--the force is off the drivelines?
I've been completely stuck in the mud (I'm a Northwest boy--so the infamous
mud pit is too far for me) and shifted into 4lo just fine. Man...I really
love the torque in 4lo!! Good luck!
