vacume leak ?
well i was out at my deer lease this weekend and used my 4x4 and the a/c went to the defrost. and from what i have read today i have a vacume leak.
i have nottaced for a few weeks when i switch the a/c on it takes a long time for the door in the vent to switch to over and when it does it thuds like it is building vacume this slams.
also i could not turn the shaft going into the hub. weather it is in 4x4 or not. does this mean my 4x4 is locked in. i checked the hubs and they or in auto.
and also there is like a plastic ring that is loose and will spin around, down by the nuckle going into the axle tube.
would it be a pain to just plug the lines at the siloniod and just go with manual locking hubs like warn.
thanks.

Are your hubs in "auto" or "lock"? If the writing is worn off, counter-clockwise is "auto" and clockwise is "lock". If you are in auto and the shafts won't spin, my guess is you have one of your auto-locking hubs is frozen.
This problem seems to be cropping up a lot lately (gotta love the ESOF!). Here's some recent links that might help:

That should be enough to chew on to get you started...
Best of luck!

i thought you werent supposed to drive over like 50 in 4H? i just recently replaced my wheel bearings and 1 4wd hub and breaking down the hub is easy anyway, just pop the snap ring off and pry the inner ring out and everything should just pop out but just pop the hub out and try to turn the inside shaft input before you do all that and if it doesnt turn then its locked up and you can get an easy rebuild kit for it or buy a new one... if the hub is the problem then thats a quick 5 minute test at least.
