Hi Thomas... check the vacum at the vacum pot it will be under the battery i believe in that year. it's the pot that has the front shift cable in it.if no vacum check the lines and the vacum solonid in the line to the pot. All the shifter does is shift the transfer case into gear vacum shifts the front axel into gear...hope this helps
