Hello, I am looking at a 96 and cannot move the transfer level out of the H setting. Original owner never used the transfer lever so I am thinking the linkage is possibly seized up. Is that a common issue? Thanks!
Cannot move transfer lever on a potential buy, need help!

Tried in Park and neutral, will not move an inch!
normal
get under the truck and look for stuck part....get some wd-40 handy...
It will only shift when there is no pressure on the transfer case. Sometimes mine is a little stiff. Don't be afraid to give it a good pull.

Put in neutral, be on level surface, truck does NOT need to be running, actually try this with truck OFF... GIVE IT A GOOD PULL!!!
Test drove one with a stiff lever. Put both my boots on the dash with the truck in neutral and the parking brake on and then pulled ... it shifted but I did not buy it.
yeah just be careful... i test drove one with a stuck transfer case and when i did get it into low finally after driving it for a bit i was not able to get it back into high. I finally got it back into high after about 10 minutes of rolling the truck back and fourth and the owner s***ting his pants. So just be careful when moving it, maybe ask the owner to put it into low so you dont have any blame for anything going wrong.
