Can you give me an idea of what the actuator looks like? I have the Haynes manual for it and the only things listed for transfer case problems were the items I previously listed. I looked up "actuator" in the index and under "Transfer Case" and couldn't find anything. Thanks

So I'm trying to replace the part you indicated. The Haynes manual says to disconnect the front driveshaft to access the part. I can't get the driveshaft disconnected from the transfer case. The manual states that it should slide out. Is it not sliding out because it's in 4 wheel drive? If that's the case, how can I replace the part? I tried removing the part with the driveshaft where it is but I can't remove two of the three bolts because the driveshaft is in the way. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for all your help.

try jacking the front axle up to takethe pressure off and then remove driveshaft. have you disconnect harness andpulled out of way our manual says nothing about removing driveshaft. you may need a wobbler socketto remove bolts.
