I missed the whole 94 year thing.

In the commonly failing parts category next the the shift motor is the 4wd computer.

I don't have a ford manual for your year so i cant look up testing the switch.

The most likely culprit is a bad neutral switch connection. You cannot switch to 4 lo without that.

That's probably all it could be if you can switch it to 4 hi. You should not have replaced the motor if the 4lo was the only problem. Hold on the old motor -- you've got a spare.

Can you start the truck in neutral?

If not try wiggling the lever a bit and see if it starts. It maybe an alignment issue.

If you cant start the truck in neutral then you cant get in 4lo. The same switch is used for both functions.
