4x4 stuck in 4-lo 2000 Silverado 1500

Hi, have had my 4x4 acting up with no lights on the selector switch and was driving fine in 2wd. Now when starting it up again it was stuck in 4-lo, Dealer had scanned it and said the fault code was coming from the encoder motor wich I will replace tonight. My problem is that I’m told the new motor comes in nuetral, can someone help guide me as how to get the t-case into neutral position???

The quick and easy way is after you've removed the original encoder motor, just a pliers or wrench to turn the shift shaft to the neutral position. You'll know it when you can spin the driveshaft (make sure truck is properly supported off the ground).

Been a while but I did use that guidance and everything went well! Thank you
