your truck has an NP229 tcase. First, make sure you have enough fluid in your tcase (1-1/8" socket, upper bolt on the back of the tcase; fluid should be even with the bottom of the upper hole. If not, fill with Dexron-Mercon III transmission fluid). After verifying fluid, easiest way is to drive at 3-5mph, shift dash switch, listen for whoosh; then, still rolling forward at 3-5mph, shift trans into neutral and while still rolling, pull up on floor lever into low. If it doesn't shift into low, then start looking at the vacuum diaphragm as it may not be fully pulling the tcase into 4wd.
