Welcome to the forum Joe. It looks like you are already getting bombarded with questions. [:)]

I have a 1995 Suburban K1500 with the 4 wheel drive manual selector on the floorboards. In 2 wheel drive mode everything works normal. The selector will go into the different ranges (4 Hi, 4 Lo, Neutral) but none of them work. (Its like being in Neutral).

The only other item to help diagnose it is that sometimes under extreme load (climbing the hills on I-70 headed west) a chattering sound will come from the front transfer case / transmission area. It sounds similar to chattering made if you attempt to put the transmission in park with the vehicle still moving.

Not much to go on I know. Any ideas?

Thanks for helping out and again welcome to the forum.

Mike

what has probably happened is the snap ring on the out put shaft of the transfercase has broken. Pretty common. It is about a 250.00-300.00 dollar repair.
When this snap ring breaks it allows the shaft to move and and become misaligned.
Call Bill Appel at 703 448 7206 we could have it out in a day or less.
