4x4 problems
I just got a 99 Ford f150 with the 4.6. I am having problems getting the four wheel drive to engage. I turn the **** on the dash and the lights come on for four high and for four low. I have a 00 four by four and it works fine, so I know how to work it. In the 99 I can hear the transfer case engaging and everything clicks just fine just like it's going into fourwheel drive, but the front end is not pulling. The front drive shaft is turning but still the front end is not engaged. Does anyone know where to start looking to see what the problem may be?

there are two vacuum hoses to the axle. One to engage the 4 x 4 rod, the other to pull it back out (off). You can take the hoses off and turn the dash **** on- off and see if you have vacuum on both sides. If yes, then the engagement mechanism is stuck. Spray with penetrant and work it back and forth. If no vacuum, look at the firewall in front of the steering wheel for two soldenoids and vacuum hose supply, and two to the axle.
