you adjust it in 2H, when it´s sitting in the 2H detent. May take a little trial and error, just a little off, one way or the other, misses 4Lo. Check under your transfer shifter cover, just for the heck of it, my last shifting problem, turned out to be McDonalds Smurfs in the shifting mechanism (kids!).
Have heard, of shifting fork wear being a problem, never had that happen to me though.

Loosen the bolt that holds the rod and manually shift the T Case into 4Lo at the case itself (use pliers or whatever). Put the shift lever into the 4 lo position and tighten the adjusting bolt. See if that works.

tried that but no go.....
could it be internal?
ogg

Yeah it must be if your putting it where 4 lo should be and it's staying in netural. Could be a bent shift fork, or something like that.

well....didnt want to hear that but thanks anyway LOL

i guess the next thing i have to do is take the tcase off and open her up?
ogg

See if you can shift it into the right gear with a cresent wrench (underneath) and see how the linkage lines up in 2H and 4Lo. Have heard of the pads on the shifting fork wearing, haven´t had the problem myself, just something I read on the boards.
But I´d try the easy stuff first. If it´s all the way into the 4Lo detent (probably gonna have to check with the shift linkage disconnected) and you still don´t get 4Lo, could be internal.
The other day my son shifted the wifes, transfer into 4Lo, couldn´t get it back into 2H, stayed in 4H. I exercised it through the transfer gears few times, a little forword and reverse action, it works fine now. Sometimes they just need to used more often.
Got mine stuck in 4H once, took quite awhile to get it to pop out again.
Check the bushings in the linkage (underneath), mine are still pretty tight (16 years old), but can guess it could be a problem, if they were loose or worn.
Take a look under the cover and check for popped welds or a bent bracket (in the cab), have seen this on the auto shifter, could also be a possible problem with the transfer I´d guess.
