Default Quick Starting question

As you know my T-case is out of my truck. Well, its been sitting for about 2 weeks now without being started. Now, i just want to start it, to get the oil moving around. I dont want my engine to get sludgy.

So Is it ok to start the truck without the T-case in it?

You don't have to start your engine. It'll be fine.

i wont advise it but yes your ruck will start and run, and if u do make sure to keep your tranny in neutral so u dont mess it up. my tcase exploded before and i i had to start my truck so i cud have power steering so i cud load it on a trailor.and i only did it then cuz i aboslutely didnt have a choice, i WUD NOT do it just to get my oil movin around and sorry if that came off rude but its deff not a good idea to do it even though u can
