why won't my truck go into 4 wheel drive?

The 4WD selector tends to get pretty cruddy on these trucks and doesn't want to shift. In my case it was the up-down motion to get into 4L, but I've heard other people have problems with the pivot.
Here is a link to a thread where a user stripped down the shifter and cleaned it up. I did this last year, adding some self-threading zerks on both collars, and shifting into 4H or 4L has been great. You will need a pretty big Torx bit and a big breaker bar to get the bolt off that holds the body to the transmission.
