My 2003 f350 did the same thing only I found out early that you have to back that vehicle up about 100 plus feet to disengage the 4x4 drive. I have locking hubs. Had to disengage turning hubs to free then disengage the switch then back it up in reverse 100 feet. That worked! Ya gotta back it up!! I know that sounds wierd, but if you think about it it makes a lot of sense! There's a lot on pressure on those gears. You have to back it up. You dont you're FUCKED!!
