4wd wont engage

[rickfekete]

had my 2010 1500 Laramie fo 6 months working great. all of a sudden 4wd wont engage. checked fuses and plug to actuator by the front diff and all looks good. any thoughts? bought with the 4 inch lift and haven't done any work on it

Can you elaborate more on this... does your dash "light" indicators come on? Do you have a "4wd servo" light or CEL's? If you put it in 4hi or lo, can you feel it pull?

thanks for replying ss88 ya the dash indicators come on like nothing was wrong. roads are snow covered so I know I only have 2wd no front pull at all. sorry but I don't know about 4wd servo or CELs but 5 pos transfer case

dash indicators work like nothing wrong and roads are snow covered so I am sure I have no pull from front diff ..4wd servo or CELs .. sorry man I don't know

Might be the front axle disconnect not engaging. Not sure if that would trigger a 4wd service light as it is separate from the transfer case...

the 4wd works off engine vacum, so start there, check vacuum lines, also in the front diff. there's a pin that slides to engage the 4wd and if there's rust on it it won't slide so you need to take it a part and clean it or replace it

.. the truck came with the lift? Did u test the 4x4 when you bought it? If not then This could be the reason it was traded in. climb under there and make sure there is a drive shaft. I have seen where people pull the front drive shaft cause they did a sketchy lift.

Driveshaft?

None of that is true on a 4th gen 1500.

You ever figure it out?

which transfer case do you have?

which transfer case do you have?

2010 would most likely be an NV243

He posted this in 2015 and hasn't been back since then, pretty sure it's a non-issue for him at this point
