towing a standard trans in neutral

[Tacoclaw]

Yeah, if you leave them idling then it should still sling fluid and lube stuff up, but it'd be quite the waste of fuel.

I'd pull the rear DS just for safety's sake. Since it's not a slip yoke it's not like it's any big deal. I'm not sure how the internals of a transfer case work though, so it may be a viable option to tow them in neutral.

Id still pull the DS. (once again)

You don't have to pull the d-shaft in a 4wd truck.
Just put the tranny in P, and the t-case in N, and disengage the hubs.

With the tranny in P, the output shaft can't rotate
And with the hubs disengaged you don't get any binding when towing on a hard surface
( For some reason the t-case connects front and rear output, when in N)
