Actually that first soultion is wrong it is correct on smaller pickups but on the full size pick ups they use a differnet sytem
there a electric actuator on front axle
there be two elctrical plugs on front axle u want the bigger of the two other one is just to turn the 4 wheel drive light on
un plug actuator then remove actuator after it removed plug it back in but leave it out of axle turn key on and shift down to 4 wheel drive the actuator should move out if it dont that your problem if i does move this isnt your problem it either the tranfer case or in front axle
Four wheel drive on my 1989 gmc will not engage front tires front drive line will turn but it wont lock in
My 89 gmc s-15 has a vacuum actuated valve near the battery. this actuater has a cable that runs to the transfer case. see if it [actuater] moves in/out when you engage 4x4. [have a buddy do it.] this is 99% of the time, the culprit. i manually activate vacuum with a small check valve [i added] on the vacuum hose to activate it. good luck [[email protected]]
SOURCE: My 90 GMC Sierra 2500 won't engage the 4 wheel
on the transfer case under the truck, there is a relay. both of my trucks have done the same thing and it was that simple problem. the wiring is on the drivers side of the case.
