I have heard of crank position sensors on that year of truck with physical damage on the end of the sensor. There is a tone wheel for the sensor that is bolted to the crankshaft, and occasionally they can come loose. Oil pan removal is required for access.

Not sure about the other truck, but have you tried shifting the transfer case through all the ranges? It may be the problem and not the transmission. (assuming it is 4 wheel drive.)

The ground down end on the Crank Position Sensor probably indicates the screws have come loose holding the tone wheel to the crankshaft allowing it to spin out under centrifical force and hit the end of the sensor.

I had the same thing happen to my '99 this past summer.
The oil pan has to be dropped in order to remove the screws, add a drop of loc-tite to the screws (which the flippin' FACTORY should have done ) before reinstalling the screws, reinstalling the oil pan and replacing the sensor.

You can either pull the transmission to slide the pan off to the rear, or some have stated they loosened the motor mounts and jacked the engine up to get enough clearance to get the pan off.

Or do like I did................take it to the dealer and let THEM take care of it.......for around $1,200.

I'm getting too old for that big of a job.

Does the transfer case have oil in it?

Loose tone ring. I wouldn't start it till it's fixed. I've seen the tone rings get beat to pieces and cause internal damage.
