4 x 4 Vacuum System Question

Can anyone here give me a quick rundown on the vacuum system for the 4x4 on a 2011 F-350?

I suspect the vacuum system isn’t engaging the hubs and I’m getting a “Check 4x4” warning light.

The front driveshaft turns but the wheels don’t drive the truck even with the rear end jacked up.

What should I check and where should I check it?

Thanks!

You can turn the hubs to "Lock" manually to eliminate any guesses about other issues. If this works, it's likely the auto vacuum hub system not working right. This is a problem I hear often and there are multiple videos on Youtube about it.

here's a good one for you to watch:
