Hi!
My 4X4 was doing the same thing -- the 4X4 actuator was moving in and out, however, when I compared the movement to my work truck (same truck) it was not moving as far in and out or as smoothly -- this could be your problem. Try putting some lube in there and move it back and forth by had while the truck is off before pulling out your differential. If you do find its the shift fork, please add to my post mentioned earlier by Mish and note how you diagnosed and fixed it! -- Trying to get all the problems of the whole system in one post so people don't have to search anymore
Thanks!
