My plan is 3 sticks up in the position of the front case shifter and no sticks out of the rear case shifter.

I have dual cases, so automatically have a 2L range with the front case.

Just swapped out my transmission and took the opportunity to pull the interlock pin while I had the transfer case out - after making sure both rails were forward (4HI) and reinstalling the shifter the transfer case worked the same way it did before
