there is a vacum actuator located on the passenger side of the vehicle.checck the vacum hose to make sure it is getting vacum when you enguage the switch or gear shifter.this has a cable that goes to the front difererential that acuates to engage the front diferential.the vacume hose may come loose.or the cable pulled out of the holder that connects to the acuator.
My 93 blazer has a vacum line behind the intake in front of the dis. it fell apart 4X4 stopped working i just replaced it it worked great 1993 4.3W
check the actuator underneath the battery pan then trace the vaccume line back to the t-case make sure its all whole

IT starts @ the intake manifold & ends on the front axle.
The front axle on the 90 GMC K2500 is actuated by a switch on the top of the transfer case. You will find it on the top, driver's side, with a 2-wire connector on it. The best price I have found on this part is from the GM garage (about $25.00). It is 2-3 times that price at the AutoZone type places.
The 1998 GMC Jimmy front axle shaft torque specification is 60 pounds. You want to make sure that you do not over torque the axle shaft, as you can ruin the axle bearing.
I believe it's called a trans-axle output shaft seal. Could also be the front differential pinion seal.
Front axle nut should be a 35mm.
Sounds like it might be the vaccum switch on the front axle.
36mm
Front axle nut on a 4 + 4? Should be 35 mm.
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.

There is either a problem with the actuator in the front differential--BAD ACTUATOR. Are there is a problem with the differential ---RING and PINION asembley.
You might want to have the front axle checked out.
It could either be a problem with your 4x4 switch in the cab, the actuator that connects the front right axle shaft to the drivetrain, or the transfer case itself not sending power to the front driveshaft.
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.
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.
