Chris,
I have a 95 gmc jimmy with the push button 4x4 too. I had the same problem. You could hear it and it would feel like it untill you put it back in drive and started driving. This problem was a (vacuum acuator ) located under your battery and battery tray. You will notice it looks like a diapram or horn in a way, this pushes and pulls a cable that keeps the transfer case engaged or dis-engaged. My "vacuum actuator" was torn. I replace it and the cable aswell and it works as it should now. The part is around ($60-$75)
