be like a boy scout and be prepared for worst case events. make sure someone at home knows where to look for you. take clothing and sleeping bag so you don't freeze to death if the dodge gets stuck or breaks down. take a chain saw that actually runs and enough gas and oil to cut your way out of a blowdown. if you don't have a winch, a come-along and 100' of 1/4 cable can get you out of most jams.

ok so it looks like you where right. I knew about coming to a stop before shifting into 4L, I was told to put the transmission in neutral when doing so. Guess I never started the truck with the transfer case in neutral to hear the noise before. I started the truck with the transfer case in 2H and then shifted into 4H with no problem at all. Took it for a quick spin and was happy with the results. The only thing left to do is put the front drive shaft back on and probably give the interior a deep cleaning. Put away dirty in a cold shop for four months did a number on her.
Thanks for all the help everyone. Maybe if im feeling brave and find the time I will visit some snowed over forest service roads this weekend.
