That depends on if there is a front axle disconnect. Your problem could be with a switch that tells the front axle to engauge.
Disconnect the transfer case!
I do not think that there is a front axle disconnect. If there is then it is vacuum controlled and the problem is either a switch or a broken line.I do not think that there is a front axle disconnect. If there is then it is vacuum controlled and the problem is either a switch or a broken line.
On a Dodge truck, the vacuum switch is on the transfer case.On a Dodge truck, the vacuum switch is on the transfer case.
The vacuum switch is on the top of the transfer case. The 4wd indicator switch is on the front axle shift actuator.
No. The only disconnect is inside the transfer case.
The only disconnect is in the transfer case. The only disconnect is in the transfer case. On the front axle, on the right side there is a disconnect housing with a sift fork that moves a shift collar to engage the the axle. Inside the disconnect housing the axle from the pig stops and the axle to the wheel starts. The shift collar slide over both axles to bridge the gap. The shift fork is controlled by the motor assembly which is controlled by air lines.
Depends on if you have the electronic or the manual transfer case. If you have the electronic transfer case, then you also have automatic locking hubs. With the vehicle in Park or Neutral, turn the transfer case switch (located on the dash to the right of the steering wheel) to "4 High". If it's a manual transfer case, you'll have to lock the hubs on the front axle, which you do by rotating clockwise. Then, in neutral, grab the transfer case level on the floor, and pull it back from 2WD into 4 High.
No. The axle shafts are directly connected to the wheel hub which is what the wheel bolts to. There is no disconnect anywhere in the front axle. The only disconnect is in the transfer case.
It will turn when driving because it is still hooked to the front tires. The only disconnect is on the transfer case.
The vacuum actuator is on the right side of the axle. The electrical switch is on the actuator. The vacuum switch is on the top of the transfer case.
there's a vacum switch on my 86 that's on the top of the transfer case between it and the floor board. that switch operates a diaphragm located on the passenger fender well near the battery in the engine compartment. that diaphragm in turn is hooked to a cable that goes to the front axle, and engages. it. your problem could be the switch on the transfer case. that was the case on mine, and I decided that it was easier to route a manual vacum pump from the cab to that diaphragm to engage the front end than it would be to try to change out that switch. not reccomending this, just offering other possiblilites. On my 94 S10 Blazer the vacuum diaphragm is under the battery tray. You have to remove the battery and the tray to access the diaphragm.
