He's messing with you.

The axles are bolted onto wheel hub on the 3rd gens. They don't unlock. When it's in 2wd, the front driveshaft is disconnected from power inside the transfer case, but the front axle and driveshaft always turn.

When you shift into 2wd from 4wd, it can take a bit for the shift to complete, as there may be quite a bit of torque between the two front axles.
