I can not get my transfer case to engage at all. It will not move out of the 2WD position!

Does the lever move at all or is it tight? If it moves real freely with no clicks, the linkage is probably disconnected. If the lever won't move to the other positions, crawl underneath and disconnect the linkage, then see which is tight, the shift lever in the cab or the lever on the transfer case. I'm leaning toward the lever on the transfer case being rusted tight. If it is, give it a few light blows with a hammer to try to free it up.
