Front Diff Not Engaging
 
Hello! I have a 2000 Chevy S10 ZR2. I am having trouble getting 4wd to engage. The front drive shaft is turning when I put the truck on jack stands and push the button. There is a vacum switch under the battery that get's the vacum from the transfercase. The vacum switch does not move when 4wd is engaged. I am assuming I would be able to see it move to engage the differential. Has anybody had this issue before?

Thanks!

Jeff

The sticky above should help. click on upgrades and repairs, then click on the blazer page. go to page three and click on 4X4 no worky. It will help you trouble shoot the problem...........

So i fixed the issue. The vacuum plunger under the batter had a tear in it. I replaced it with one from NAPA and it works great now!

Front diff/tires not moving
 
Hi I have a 1999 s10 zr2 and my 4x4 is not working. When I turn on the button it clicks in the transfer case and the plunger under the battery will suck down. The drive shaft to the front will move. I have replaced the cable and gear on the passenger side of the differential idk what else could be wrong any ideas
