Hey emdistributing, My Truck did the same thing the first time I tried to use 4WD. I read on the Forum here that if you unplug and than plug back in the motor that locks the front axles, while the truck is running and set to 4WD, it will engage the front axles. I went out to my Truck and did that and have not had a problem since. Make sure you are in Park and set the Parking Brake. Hope it Works for you too!!
