So the 4wd didnt engage the other day, thought it was odd considering I upgraded to the electronic actuator last year. But who knows these things fail right. the front diff lock light didnt turn on either.
I get home with the truck off but in the on position I engage 4wd and can hear the actuator moving, still no 4wd though. I check and the front driveshaft is engaged though. back to 2wd and the front driveshaft is disabled. I did test the light bulb as well and its good.
up on jack stands it goes, all 4 tires off the ground. I unscrew the actuator and engage 4wd, it pushes out, so the actuator is still good.
I grab a 1/2" extension and shove it in the hole, I can only get it move about 1/8" inch. tried spinning the tires, tried spinning the driveshaft, all while pushing, cant get it to move more then 1/8". Its not frozen cause it does move, and its been in my heated shop overnight. I tried screwing the extended actuator in and can barely get it to catch 1 thread but it wont go in.
Whats going on here?
Any idea's?
