Front axle on the top. You will see a wire harness coming from it. It leads to a Transfer case switch that could be confused with this as it looks alike. The Switch is located on the side of the Front Transfer case about a foot away from the Actuator yo want to switch out. You can check it by unscrewing it and put the ignition in on but do not start the truck. Next, shift into 4 x 4 and have someone observe the actuator to see if it is moving 1 inch. Make sure truck is not started when someone is underneath and it is blocked so it will not move. If it doesnt move, replace it. Check to see if the switch is working also. You can also put it in 4 x 4 not starting it and try to see if you can turn the front axle. This is a good test to see if the gears are ok. If you cannot turn it that means it is ok and not broke. Good luck.

The front axle on these trucks have a mechanical actuator that locks the front differential in. They have used vacuum, thermal and mechanical means for this. The mechanical is the most reliable. This is a common fail point on the Chevys/GMCs. It is located on the front axle next to the differential.
