i never owned a ranger let alone a four wheel drive ,so i lock the hubs in, put tranny in nutral and put the 4wd lever back right ?? well it doesnt go in to 4 wheel drive high i have to pull back then a little over to the left


an if i put in 4 wheel drive low it wont shift acts like its in nutral


also is it common for it to make a slight wihning noise ??

You need to give it some time. About 24 hours is plenty of time for the regulars on the forum (like myself) to see your post and answer it.

It sounds to me like your shifter mechanism is out of adjustment.

If you go under the truck you can will see where the Transfercase shift lever bolts to the transmission. There is a large bolt and a smaller bolt. You need to loosen the smaller bolt and the shifter guide will be able to rotate. Rotate it clockwise a little bit.

At this point it would be helpful for someone to shift the tcase so you can make sure it is properly adjusted.

Good luck!

With a manual shift transfer case, you should be able to feel it "click."

There are detents inside the Tcase. Having your helper shift the tcase will tell you exactly where the detents are and you can adjust the guide so that it lines up with the shifter position.
