I have a problem getting my Cherokee out of 4wd. It goes in fine, but will not come out. Even tried jacking it up to get it to come out, but no luck. Any suggestions?

 

Try going 20 or so feet in reverse and then 20 feet forward and keep doing that and it might help if you haven't tried it. And try to wiggle the transfer case shifter in the position you want while you do that

 

Not sure what front end you have, but if you have the vacuum disconnect version, read this link.

Here's how the factory suggests you shift the transfer case and I've been doing this since these things were new and I worked at the dealership. Quoted from the owner's manual. The suggestions in CAPS are mine.

"To engage, shift the transfer case lever from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving at any legal speed". I LET OFF THE GAS, THROW THE LEVER, TAP THE GAS AND LET OFF.

4L position: " To engage, slow the vehicle to 2-3 MPH , shift the transmission to Neutral, then shift the transfer lever to the right and pull firmly rearward to 4L".

TO SHIFT OUT OF 4L, SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL WITH THE VEHICLE STOPPED, SHIFT THE TRANSFER CASE LEVER TO 2H, THEN THE TRANS TO D IF YOU HAVE AN AUTOMATIC, OR INTO FIRST GEAR WITH A MANUAL, AND CONTINUE ON.

How's the fluid level and condition?

all tires the same size? Pressures even?
