Check the linkage connecting the 4x4 shifter, to the transfer case. Mine lost the bushings at the transfer case, leaving it stuck in 4WD. Hope this helps.

I had the same issue...as stated above, I readjusted the linkage and all is good.

If it does go into gear by observing from underneath, then it could be a stretched chain in the transfer case.
