Default 4x4 help??

okay so every now and then when i pull my lever to engage 4x4 my back tires will still spin but i can hear a noise that sounds like the front driveshaft just free spinning but then ill either put it in reverse or drive and it locks right in...anyone else have this problem??

Sounds to me like your pulling the handle right into the neutral position..

try not pulling it up so far and see how that works..

Mine will sometimes not engage till I put it in park or neutral and even sometimes It will work if I go from first to reverse then back to first.

It makes no noise though?
