make sure the shifter linkage is all in tact and i would start at that failure prone shifter fork on your front axle.

yeah this happened to me cuz the cotter pin fell out of the linkage, check directly underneath the 4wd shifter under the car and have someone move it around, make sure its connected in the little rubber hole joint thing..............

either your linkage is not working...or most likely you have a vacuum disconnect front Dana30 and the vacuum actuator has crapped all over itself. If thats the case I'd recommend that you go ahead and find a cheap Dana30 on Craigslist, swap it in and replace all your front Driveshaft u-joints while you're at it
