I had a hard time getting the truck into 4wd on a hunting trip last
month. 4wh and 4wl lights just flashed.
Now it doesn't respond at all.
During the trip mentioned earlier I was in 4wh a lot. It was very
muddy. The last time I was successful getting it into 4wd I had to put
it in reverse.

I don't know if this is helpful or not but many of the 95s had a recall for
the 4WD actuator/solenoid (I think that's what it was called). My
experience was that mine was done for free at the dealer on my 95 SLT when I
had no problems whatsoever. I then, later, was stuck in a rocky bog and
ended up with the same symptoms you have. The cure was replacing the torn
hose to the actuator/solenoid. When you press the dash switch, can you hear
the solenoid? If so, my guess would be the air line being damaged / if not,
I would side with a dead or failing actuator/solenoid. I hope this helps.
Thanks! Andrew.
