Support the vehicle on jack stands with all four wheels in the air, start the engine, engage the transfer case into 4HI or 4LO, put the transmission in drive, and then look under the truck.  If the front drive shaft is spinning, then the problem lies with the front axle engagement vacuum actuator.  If it does not spin, then you did more serious damage to the transfer case and may need to remove it and open it up to determine what went wrong (or get on from a junkyard to swap in). < Message edited by swartlkk -- 9/5/2008 9:41:25 AM > _____________________________ Kyle- 2004 Rainier 1970 Chevelle - Resto 1974 K5 Blazer - Resto (in reply to Blazin_1t_up) Post #: 11
