TOW TRUCK
My 1-ton dually 4WD diesel pickup needs to be towed to the dealership... The tow truck driver showed up with a regular (not flat bed) two truck and plans on towing it with the front hooked up... ...

Bryan don't you mean that the transfer case needs to be in neutral to tow with the transmission in park?
Yes if towing from the front. If you tow from the rear, the drive wheels aren't moving anyways as long as its in 2wd (Neutral is fine too until the operator forgets when they set it down and it takes off on its own.... even worse when the operator jumps out of the tow truck to chase the runaway, but the tow-truck is still in drive, and he now has two runaways in opposite directions!) Note I'm only referring to the NV271. Any of the "Auto 4WD" T-cases need to be flat-bed hauled or the driveline dropped, and even some full-time 4WD T-cases cannot towed even in Neutral unless they are 4-down.
