Hello all...

In need of help on my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. I am having an issue getting the truck into 4wd.

I have replaced everything back to the transfer case. In short it will engage in 4wd if I manually depress the vacuum switch once removed from transfer case.

However, when installed in transfer case it does not engage the switch when put in 4wd.

Is there something at the transfer case I can adjust? What actually pushes on the vacuum switch to activate?

I think there is a solenoid inside the case? That is very specific, I would ask your local 4wd shop to be honest

Are you getting the vacuum switch at the transfer case all the way in? One thread will out will stop the switch from engaging.
