I thought they were live axle by 2000. Check for busted or melted vacuum lines. Theres two vacuum lines that control the diff, even though you may or may not be live axle, these busted vacuum lines will prevent you from engaging.

The live axle change was mid year in 2000. It may or may not have vacuum hubs. Sure sounds like it does though.
