TC? Transfer-Case? Here is the copy and paste from the service manual.
ADJUSTMENTS
SHIFTER ADJUSTMENT
(1) Shift transfer case into the 2WD position.
(2) Raise vehicle.
(3) Loosen the trunnion lock bolt (Fig. 84).
(4) Make sure the shift rod slides freely in the
adjusting swivel. Lube rod and swivel if necessary.
(5) Verify that transfer case range lever is in 2WD
detent. The 2WD detent is the second detent position
from the full forward position.
(6) Align the adjustment locating hole in the lower
shift lever to the adjustment channel in the shifter
body (Fig. 85).
(7) Insert an appropriately sized pin through the
adjustment hole and channel.
(8) Tighten the trunnion lock bolt to 10 N·m (90
in. lbs.) torque.
(9) Lower vehicle just enough to enter vehicle. Be
sure all wheels are off shop floor. Then start engine,
shift transmission into gear, and shift transfer case
through all ranges to verify correct adjustment.

The parts manual is in the FAQ in this section, just a few posts above this one in the upper area as a sticky. Also you can always go to your local Dodge dealer parts department. Or go to an OEM site like this one.https://www.dodgeparts.com/oe_parts_...e2cf8fa4e8846c

Went to my local dealer today and they had them instock. If anyone else needs the part numbers, the rod is 52105389AA and the grommet is 5017960AA.It was only 35.00 for the setup.
