It really is a dying art....

The pull **** is called a "posi lock", you still need to use the 4wd lever (this is for the TRANSFER CASE, not the front axle).
After you put it into 4wd you will push in the button on the **** and pull, let off the brake so the jeep can roll, and keep pressure on the **** until it locks in. You are now in 4wd.
