Going into 4x4mode by its self
Need help I have a 1997 f-150 XL 4 speed manuel with overdrive and the shifer for the 4x4. Its going into 4x4 mode without me putting it in that mode I will hear the grinding then all I have to do is push cluch in and move the shifer into 4 wheel drive high and grinding goes away. Can this be fixed

Yes it can be fixed. Spray penetrating oil on the 4x4 shift linkage. Engine off, trans in neutral, clutch in shift from 2Hi to 4Lo and back 10 times or so to free up the linkage. Look for broken/bent linkage.
