If it it truely manual, and it should with that year. You first need to place the hubs in the lock position. It will tell you on the hub which way to turn the plastic piece. Second place the lever into 4H and then drive off. If you want to be in 4L you have to be in neutral then pull the 4 x 4 lever all the way back and I believe it is a bit to the left after 4H. You shoiuld have a dash light indicator telling you what 4 x 4 you are in. I think you can shift to 4 H on the fly, but I was always to scared to do it. Most people will leave the hubs locked in the winter so you don't have to get out of the truck. Your choice.
