Were you driving it when you shifted or were you stopped?

I was barely moving on level ground on dirt I would say less then 2 or 3 mph

If the problem is in the transfer case will the transmission still shift normal?

your encoder motor went out. mounts on the side of the transfer case.

Here's the same issue-

That link was a big help Thanks! I had the same problem a couple months ago with the transfer case kicking into neutral and it was the encoder motor sensor ring I replaced the sensor and that's fixed it but I guess its the whole motor now. Thanks again for the info Leedogg

I've read quite a few where that had happened...that's why i just done the whole thing when mine went out.

I guess that's my next step i just found out I have the famous pump rub leak I refilled the transfer case and patched the leak but i think to much damage has already been done planing on putting a rebuilt transfer case form transfer case express there the best I've seen or heard of $795 with a all new aluminium rear case new style pump that fixes the problem with a twelve month / unlimited mileage warranty other places my have the same warranty but not the aluminium rear case. and there $1,000 and up. Thanks for the help on here y'all have been a big help there's a lot i know about Chevy's but a lot i don't about there electric controlled stuff so i'm sure i'll be back with ?
