It will go into 4 wheel high with no problems but shifting back, it is slow or will

I had the same issue and replaced the 4 wheel drive actuator. Works like a champ now. They are vacuum operated and the grease was really gunky and dried up inside when I removed them. Although yours is 4 years newer than mine it is a fairly simple process to pull the actuator and check if it is free moving. There is a great YouTube video that I watched and made the process simple. I replaced the front bearing assemblies while i already had it apart.
