it was the solenoid preventing me getting low range. So I removed the pin and now I have Hi/Low
.........Now I have lost some of my gauges and lights......AHHHHH
.... the wire came off the solenoid and so I unplugged the lead? At least when i re installed the tunnel plate and shifter I only put 4 rivets in it.

Also make sure to use RTV. The first time I installed my CDL shifter, I didn't really do a good job of sealing all the way around. It was noisy. And hot air came up. Later, I had to replace my CDL detection switch. So the second time I reinstalled the shifter plate I made sure to put a good coat of RTV all the way around. Very quiet and no air. In fact it is even quieter than before I did my CDL install.

If you don't have a CDL then you cannot drive it with the shaft out. The CDL must be engaged to drive it in 2 wheel drive.

I thought '99's came with a CDL? I don't get why mine doesn't have it. Anyway, the drive shaft had one nipple, but had never been greased. The U joint's were shot, so I ordered a new one from Driveshaft Power for $250, as I couldn't find a local shop willing to tackle a Rover shaft.

It could very well be that the transfer case was changed at some time prior to your purchase of the truck.
The original driveshaft had a zerk fitting on the front u-joint from the factory. It's the two in the back that are typically the problem because they don't have zerks and are not serviceable.
