Hi , I pulled back the lever to use 4 wheel drive and got a clunking noise and it would not engage the front wheels.

Is there a adjustment for the transfer cace lever. ? I hardly ever use 4 wheel drive .

I tried low range and the same thing happened. Thanks
 
At this point, I would jack up one of the front wheels and try turning it with the TC in 2HI and then try 4HI (or LO) and see if you can reproduce the noise, and also verify if the 4WD function is actually engaging. It would also be a good time to check the condition of the U-joints on the front DS and at the front wheels.
 
At least on the 2nd gens, you should be rolling at less than 5 mph and in neutral with an auto or at least with the clutch pushed in with a manual, before shifting into 4 low. if you are already at a stop and you need 4 low, you may have to shut the engine down, shift into 4 low and then restart the truck. Any other way will result in gear clash.
 
If it was like mine. . The little plastic clips that hold the shift rod at both ends dry rotted and disentergrated when I actually tried to use the 4wd. Must be pretty common, called the closest Dodge dealer and they had about 50 of them in stock!!.
