It sounds to me almost as if your range fork is disconnected. I wonder if the shift fork pin was set good during the rebuild? Fork installed in the correct orientation? There is also supposed to be a 'L' shaped end on the range shift rod that rides on the shift rail link and helps it shift into position. Is that still there? I would be tempted to pull the inspection cover on the driver side and see if / how it is shifting into high.

Here's some info. I hope the images are clear enough to read.
