Hey all, a mate of mine has lost high range. Went to take off herd a bit of a bang and then no drive, the mid range and low range still work without having to push 4wd. So just the high range, has anyone had this problem before??

Cheers,

Ben

Please don't tell me it's who I think it is :(
That's all he needs. Nothing worse than repairs eating into the improvement buget.
Keep us posted.

Rear diff blown, h4L locks the centre diff.
Put it in gear in 2wd and check if the drive shaft is spinning but no drive
