On My 94 Auto the trans has to be in nuetral and my foot has to be on the brakes. Make sure your brake light switch is working. I think it is part of the loop to engage 4low

Thumbs up thanks

ive tried it both in park and in neutral and it wont engage ive tried it at low speed. still nothing. but thank u for ur reply , i guess im gonna have to start with the switch itself and work my way down. hi speed works just fine itll engage "on the fly'. so must be something small .

A comon problem is the electric shift motor on the t-case. 4 low is the least used so it can stiffen up where the shift motor can have trouble engaging it. I run my truck in both ranges at least once a month, even if it's just to the barn and back.
