Clearing downed trees from a storm. Can’t get my truck out of 4wd I remember a thread on this but I can’t find it. I have limited internet and no power.

Back and forth from reverse to drive on level ground and then into neutral usually works for me. You didn't mention hi or low 4wd so I assume hi, neutral is not needed from hi but it works for me when mine gets stuck.

I'm not exactly sure how to do it, but if all else fails you can take the shift motor off the case and move the selector by hand.

Thanks very much guys. Got it out. I was in a bit of a bind. Lots of damage in my area from the storm but no one hurt. Still no power or internet.

Dave, how did you get the truck out of 4 low? People in a similar situation might benefit from your advice in the future.
I saw the storms rolling through yesterday, luckily we were on the very southern part of it and only had heavy winds and rain.

I did as truckeemtnfords suggested and it worked. Went back and forth about 5 times.

What Mark said is straight from the owners manual. I had the same issue the first time I tested to see if my 4WD even worked. Tried every which way to get out of 4 low to no avail. Then I read the directions and it worked first time!
