After much research, and discussion in this forum, I am convinced there is no way to modify a 2004 4x4 automatic Ranger to have the ability to electronically shift the transfer case to Neutral unless I replace some expensive parts to model year 2007-2011.
Not willing to make that investment into a vehicle that has 176K miles.

That leaves the possibility of manually shifting the transfer case to Neutral.
And that takes us back to an earlier post where I found a Youtube video that appeared to demonstrate shifting my model of TC to 'N' resulted in the following configuration:
- input shaft (i.e. transmission) is disconnected -- this is good for flat towing
- Front and Rear output shafts are connected to each other -- NOT good for flat towing a vehicle
410customs: you had the understanding that the output shafts should not be connected when TC is in 'N'. Were you able to verify what happens to the output shafts when the TC is in 'N'?
