Different parts. If you look at that pic in that link I gave you, you will see the vacuum pump next to that football looking holding tank. lol
EDIT: When you turn the key on, you will hear the fuel pump come on also. The fuel pump is under the cabs drivers side. Kind of right under the front door on the frame rail. Is this what you heard???

It would help if you could post pics. I use photobucket to post some of my pics.

At this point you need to check the truck with all 4 tires off the ground
Your hubs are working
Your shift motor is working
So unless your t-case is broken, I'm thinking you are actually in 4x4
Are you positive the wheels werent turning? Remember that only 1 tire is going to spin up front....the one with least traction.
Go find some dirt. Manaully lock the hubs. Shift into 4x4 low. Goose the throttle and cut the wheel over hard. Get out and check your tire spin marks.

Hubs fail: manually lock them
It's annoying if the vacuum solenoid fails, or some other issue. But that won't kill the 4x4. It just makes you get out and do it old style
