Some how the truck was in 4X4 lock (high). since the daughter was driving it the day before I'm blaming her. I haven't tried it but I assume it stays where you last left it. I didn't notice it untill I had driven about 10 miles (first 3 on dirt) and turning into a parking space. I think that binding it up like that makes it harder for the gears to just release. Even in the manual it state you may need to back up to release the gears so it can go back into 4X4 normal. Seems like the biggest leson here is to check the position of the lights before driving. It's so easy to bump that button and even if you didn't the previous person may have.
