Welcome, my first 2 suggestions are to use the search button as all your questions have been asked a few times before and fill out your profile so we know where you are located so closer members might be able to help out.

Ditto... and welcome to the site. You are probably better off to tackle one issue at a time and keep your eyes open for other parts, ideas and plans as you go. Figure out what is the highest priority and go from there. You have come to the right place.

There is a spring that is just under the shift boot, that holds the shifter in four hi. Sounds like that spring is gone or worn out. It hooks from the shifter to a bracket I think. You can probably see or feel it from under the truck, so you don't have to disturb you shift boot. They are old and tear easily.
