4x4 "problem" a breeze to fix

After doing a little research on here I found an easy solution to my 4x4 not shifting into 4hi. Lubed it up and it all works good. Such an easy fix it almost makes me worried!

Its easy, take the plastic/rubber piece off that covers where the vacuum hoses go into, and lube the piece that goes in and out. Worked perfectly on mine! Once you crawl under, its very easy to see what im talking about. Its located on the front axle.
