My 4wd doesn't work. I wanted to know if the 4wd is activated by vacuum lines, electronically, or just by putting lever in 4low or 4hi? Trying to pinpoint why 4wd doesn't work.

This is a completely mechanical system worked by the 4WD lever only. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Great, at leased I know I don't have a vacuum issue. I can concern myself by weeding out working parts, then narrowing it down. Thank you.

Here are the exploded views of the transfer case so you can see how it works. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
