Have you put the truck in neutral while in 4lo. It should kick in put the switch in lo then shift to neutral wait a few seconds and put it back in gear. That should get it done.

You mean while in high 4x4, shift to nuetral, put truck in low-low either by selector or stick then selecting to drive and you'll hear a cluck, your in 4 low. reverse steps to disengage.

think you need to apply the brakes also.

Shortly after I sold my 99 I got a call from the new owner claiming it was broke and he had to drive 50 miles back to town in low range. He was suitably ashamed when I told him he had to have neutral and the brakes on to shift in or out of low.
