For your first problem, i would lay under the front of the truck while someone else turns the steering wheel from side to side. Try to determine where the slop is coming from then post back.
For the 4x4 problem, you need to clarify... is the transfer case not engaging? or are the hubs just not locking? Are they auto or manual hubs? Do you have electronic shift on the fly or a manual floor shifter to shift into 4x4?
If you have autolocking hubs you can try doing a little maintenance on them and see if that helps. Use this excellent guide: Welcome to guzzle's 4x4 Autolock Hub Lubrication Maintenance Web Page
