    Still couldn't get my diff to lock up in 4LO.... I tried for about 5 minutes going back and forth turning and what not. Is 4LO supposed to beep the whole time?

    If it is beeping, it isn't engaged in 4lo. A yellow 4lo indicator should illuminate in the dash.

    There should be an information card on your sunvisor with a set of instructions on how to shift into 4Hi and 4Lo. My truck has the instructions for the diff lock posted on the drivers door. If yours has neither, instruction are located in the owners manual as well.

    I suggest you read both.
