I finally got it all repaired today. Here is what I found. When I tried to hang the encoder and try it before hooking up to the tc it would go from 2hi to awd just fine when I went to 4hi the 4wd service light would come on and that was it. I talked to a local shop and he told me you cant just hang the encoder you will ruin it. So, I got a new one and hooked it up to the tc and it went to 4hi the way it should but I wasnt in 4wd. I decided to try to go to 4lo and it shifted to 4lo but got stuck there. That is where I got sick of laying under that thing in 0 degree weather and I took it into the shop. Long story short my tc was shot also, because the tc was stuck somewhere in between the front disconnect was also chewed up. I got a used tc for 150.00 including the encoder and a front disconnect for 130.00 including the actuator labor to replace both was 150.00 which I didnt think was too bad. Hopefully that solves my problems for good. I learned more than I wanted to about this 4wd system but at least i have an idea if anything goes wrong again. This was my experience hopefully this can help someone.
