I am having difficulty with the push button 4-wheel drive. The truck will not go into 4-hi or 4-lo. When I turn the 4WD button into 4-hi the light indicates the truck is in 4WD, however, the front wheels will not engage. There is no sound at all when switching between 2-hi & 4-hi. When I put the truck in nuetral and shift to 4-lo, I hear the "klunking" sound and can feel the transmission engage, but the front wheels still won't pull (or turn). The lights for 4-lo indicate the truck is in 4-lo.

It sounds like you have a broken front hub lock. If you can safely support all four wheels off of the ground (on jack stands maybe) you can engage the vehicle in 4wd while running and watch the front CV shafts. If you have a broken shaft, one shaft should turn without spinning the wheel.
