When I click the 4wd all I hear is a clicking noise
under the dash and it doesn't wanna engage but
occasionally after 2000 clicks it'll go in and when
it's in it works great and then it doesnt wanna go
out, any ideas?

I’ve had the same issue with my 98 Sierra 4x4. I believe it has something to do with the vehicle speed. It can engage at any speed, but to disengage, the vehicle needs to be at a stop, or close to a stop. That’s just what my experience has been. I have heard a clicking noise too which Is the relay. I would either test the relay or swap it out with the an identical relay from the fuse box. Best of luck!
