I appreciate all of the comments and "as a safety precausions" but that really does not answer the question. Maybe I should rephrase it.

With the rear wheels on the ground and driveshaft turning the trans in neutral, does it turn anything that needs lubrication in the trans?

I really don't want to have to disconnect the driveshaft unless I absolutely have to. I will be towing the truck for 5 1/2 hours one way.



with t-case in N the rear output shaft/t-case differental spider gears/chain and both chain cogs will be turning..they have splash oiling when turning. so you can tow it in N and the parts turning will be lubed.

on a 2x trans the drive shaft will be turning the drums and may slip clutches/bands causing wear to the parts..

IMHO..I would undo the axle end of shaft and tie it up to the frame or slip the back 1/2 of shaft from yoke leaviing yoke on t-case output yoke.

5 1/2 hrs rolling in N will be oiling moving parts but why have the un-needed drag on tow vehical?

plus the speedo works off the t-case and it will add the tow miles to odometer.
