I put it back into AWD as per the manual, drove it around the block a few times, and then put the transfer case into neutral again. And again, no forward or reverse from the main tranny.

Is this how it's supposed to work? The book says it is supposed to be used during towing or driving where the tires might slip and spin. So, why don't I get any movement at all? I can definitely hear the mechanism changing from whatever "drive status" it's normally in to the neutral status....and back out.
I put my 2000 silverado into neutral 12 years ago just to see if it worked. that was the last time I did this .

neutral is for towing the vehicle for a long distance. this will not provide any power to the wheels.

like is was stated , The effect is , your removing the drive shafts when doing this .
