4x4 Not Engaging

[Crocdocs]

With what you've figure out so far it it either bad vac lines or te actuator itself so it's narrowed down pretty well.

Finally had a little snow event here and found out that it I shift into 4hi while on a roll and drive for a little, it will engage eventually. Going to replace the vac lines first and go from there.

Fixed my 4x4 for $13...for now.

Its been almost a year now with no 4x4. I discovered I had 2 low which was cool but not ok with me as the purpose of my ram is a foul weather beater truck...plus getting stuck is just embarrassing.

I replaced the 2 rusted metal vacuum lines running from the transfer case to the cad with rubber hoses and plastic connectors. Zip tied everything snug and boom 4x4 is back, $13 and about 30minutes.

A cheap short term fix anyone could do

Borrowed time? What else is wrong with it? You got knowledgeable people on here

Mainly rust the rest are little things that 100k mile vehicles have but makes doing the repair yourself 100x harder when bolts stop turning.

I will post a new thread and list all the issues to get some options.
