My M38 Manual would dissagree with your statment.
I have TM 9-8012 operation and organizational maintenance manual for my M38
CDN. On page 36 it states and I quote
"If the transmission, transfer, front axle assembly, rear axel assembly, or
propeller shafts are not dammaged, the vehicle may be towed on four wheels.
Position transmission gearshift lever (V, fig. 7) in "N" (neutral) position,
transfer front wheel drive gearshift lever (T, fig. 7) in OUT position, and
position transfer high and low range gearshift lever (S fig. 7) in "N"
(neutral)
position.
