The transfer case could pose another reason why your 4 wheel drive fails to engage. This could be due to the vehicle not coming to a complete stop to allow it to engage. This is because the splined pin and gears of the actuator need to align 100% with the gears inside the transfer case.

Can you drive a Chevy truck in 4WD?

I have stopped driving it and will pull the transfer case out and open it up.
