In 2wd with the hubs locked in can you turn the shaft by hand?

yeah mate i locked in the hubs, shaft doesn't move anymore than 1/8th of a turn in either direction.

What gearbox are you using?

With the H55f, the selector can become worn. When i put mine in L4, i have to then pull the lever back slightly to engage 4wd properly. Never had a problem with H4

Selectable low range 2WD can be handy though

im not sure what gearbox it is, im assuming its standard issue for my truck. when L4 is selected it makes a grinding noise when u put load on it

Try wrenching back towards you on the transfer lever, see if it'll engage - might need to feather the clutch whilst doing this. Have you got a body lift? This could also be causing clearance issues (body->lever)

il have to give it a go. i've only got 4" suspension lift, no body lift that im aware of.

i would say the shifter is just sitting in neutral, needs a bit more of a nudge
