1. At a stop, foot on brake
2. Tranmission in Neutral
3. Pushing transfer case shift-lever down (i.e., pushing into the floor) and sliding upward in a smooth, quick-ish motion (complete in about 1s) from 4L through N into 4H.
As mentioned, a brief grind may occur. If you haven't engaged in that 1s, then do as suggested: ease off the shift-lever, allow the truck to roll a little, come to a stop, then retry.
If that still fails, check your fluid levels and the shift-lever linkage on the driver's side of the t-case.
(To cover all bases, you do have the shift-lever only, and not an Auto-Mode t-case? An older variant of the Auto t-case had both a dial-knob and shift-lever)

The fluids are good, did notice that the grinding sound stop after a while just did not like that it sounds pretty bad. Around how long should the grinding sound last for??
