Not saying it can't be the battery, but I'd check the alternator is fine before doing more work. If your first battery only made it 3 years, I guess getting 6 out of the second is possible.

Well - I can report this problem is not from the battery!

I will be checking the alt output just in case.

Replacement of the ATC-700 Transfer Case ECU solved the problem immediately. I found a pre-owned one on eBay for $190 shipped.

Thanks for closing the loop.
How did you decide that was it? Any further diagnostic data you could share? Any idea why it failed? Wire harness, open connector, water intrusion, etc?? |

This was the opening post of the thread - since it wasnt the gear issue, and all electrical wires/connections looked good, the ECU was the next step.

As it was, I tried the battery replacement since it was getting “old” per the advice here, but it didn’t help. So I took an extra path not needed, but that route did help others with a similar problem.
