Making any strange noises and how did you test it? Could be the t-case chain but they don't go out all that often.

sounds like your transfercase junked, your not getting anypower to the front drive shaft? crawl under and manualy shift it into 4x4 i know you said you checked your linkage but if might not be moving it far enough

Put it in 4 hi or lo, engine off in park, and get under and see if you can turn the front drive shaft, if so then the chain is gone or worse.
