4x4 doesn't like to work....getting irritated
well for the last 6-7 months my 4wd has not been all that reliable, It started when i didn't use it for a while, then when i needed it to pull a tree root, it decided to not kick in and just flash the 4wd high and low lights, it still does that every now and then but most of the time it will just take about 5-6 twists of the 4wd knob. just today, i kicked it into 4wd high so i can go through my woods and get my trail cam footage. it went into 4wd like a dream..... but it sure didnt want to come out, although the 4wd high light was no longer illuminated my dash, it was still in. it took at least 10 tries to kick it out then finally it disengaged. and for some more info, the other day my friend decided to have some fun with my engagement knob putting it in 4wd high and low (while i was driving)... did that possibly screw something up to where it would not want to disengage? for my job i need a quick and reliable 4wd in which im not receiving. i need help asap, winter is arriving and i absolutely need a reliably 4x4. any hints on what it could be and how i could solve it?
also my truck is a 1998 4.0 with 147xxx miles, never beaten very rarely seen terrible amounts of mud.
