Does it have 4 matched tires, with the same air pressure?

"Engage 4X4" is positive, done by a shift yoke, but in "disengage mode", the shift yoke simply backs off, and a spring pushes the 4X4 shift collar setup apart when there is no "windup" or stress on the driveline.

If the driveline is under tension in 4X4, due to umatched tires, or even the fact someone has swapped gears in one axle or the other, without doing both, the shift collar won't move, and "let go" until you've driven a ways, and hit a few bumps.

Even if the tires and gear ratios match, you MAY have to drive a ways, or even back up a short distance, until the 4X4 shift collar pops out of the engaged position USUALLY accompanyed by a pretty good jerk, and clunk in the driveline.
