No expert either, but rule of thumb is to lock the center diff when you leave pavement. There is really no reason to leave it open off pavement (you can essentially be one wheel drive if you do). The center diff is not designed to take much difference in front to rear wheel speeds for long. I doubt this is your issue with not being able to shift to Low Range, but I've seen many examples over the years of light off-roading destroying unlocked center diffs..
