Yes there is a solenoid that locks the selector lever whenever the shifter is not in P or N.

Thank you for reply. Is the solenoid I removed controlling it?
Something happened. I bought the truck @6 months ago and never tried to shift in LOW and maybe the person before me did not either. Could it be just stuck from lack of use?

No There is another one on the transfer case shift lever base. It's held in place with M8 Allen head cap screws.

Could it be just stuck from lack of use?

Yes, absolutely. It's easiest to access from the top, so if you have the center console out still, this is the time to go after it. You will need the nylon bushes for the link pins. They tend to go to pieces. RN Part #RND648.
The rod ends may also be rusted. You can get new ones from McMaster-Carr.

Thank you again and for the details! I have it all together but will do it again. Will post, when fixed.

Finally got it fixed! Turns out, that the linkage was not frozen. There is a one out of two microswitches, tied to the circuit that tells the transmission that is in neutral. Did not have to take the center console apart the third time, if I new. Live and learn. I spliced the two wires to unused air coil control switch and now I can shift with ease from LOW to HI. There are two yellow relays behind the glove box, the far left is the one and the far right is for the solenoid on the top of the transfer case, just for audible alarm.
