    Silly question here, did it used to tilt?
    Not all of those trucks had tilt steering columns

    I don't know to be honest I got the truck and never tried to tilt it till now but if so that may be the case but when I push the lever forward it moves slightly like it wants to go further but cant

    What model truck?
    xlt, lariat are the only ones with tilt
    IF it is tilt, pull gently back towards you, while gently shaking on the wheel, then push forward. it should go

    You can look at the slot around the turn signal arm, on non tilt, looks like a slot, up and down
    tilt looks like a plus sign, up and down, forward and back
