You don't say what transmission and transfer case you have, but an '87 would likely have a NP208 as original equipment. If it's NP205, they are known for being hard to shift out of 4L. Haven't had a problem with the 208, but maybe the chain is stretched? Can you let the truck roll down the hill slightly and try to shift out?
