#14 of 34 4x4 problem by justakid Jan 28, 2008 (12:52 pm)
I have a 00' s10 4.3L 4x4. I took it in the snow when I first got it and when in four wheel drive I put it in reverse and the front end wouldn't work. it would clunk and sound like something was spinning on the front passenger side. never messed with it too much, knowing its a vacuum setup and not knowing much about it. just recently used the four-wheel drive again and had the same problem......then it started to pop out of four-wheel drive while going forward too......any help or advice or links would be much appreciated

Found the switch at parts america. com for $8.00. It is located on the steering column at about knee level. Easy to replace.

I have put a new axle actuator and the vacum actuator it sounds like its clicking in but no 4hi or 4lo the light changes on the dash each time i press the button to 4lo and 4hi but nothing to the wheels
#17 of 34 S-15 lift by dadysworkshop Feb 24, 2008 (3:33 am)
I have a '89 4x4 ext cab, running the stock 15x6 rims with 205/75-15. I am wanting to put 31x10.5 on. Will 15x7 rims be ok? Will a 3 inch body lift allow these tires fit or do I have to put shackles in and do a T/B crank also? Any modifications to the fenders, steering stops, or anything? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
#18 of 34 CLUNK in 4wd by gotgoldfever Mar 05, 2008 (3:25 pm)
When I am in 4hi or 4lo whenever there is strain on the drive train I will get intermittent CLUNKS (loud sounds like something is breaking or the hubs are unlocking or something) . The 4wd seems to still work though, is it the cv joints? What would be the best way to trouble shoot such a problem?

Replying to: 2003sonoma (Dec 12, 2007 9:55 am) Just tried this with my 2004 s10 and it worked perfect. Last year I took it into the dealer and they charged me 500 bucks to fix what you just showed me. Thats what I call bullsh*t... Thanks alot
#20 of 34 transfer case or is it something else by kacz May 21, 2008 (10:23 am)
My truck is and 2001 GMC SLS Sonoma X-cab:   It has the pushbutton 2WD/4HI/4Low buttons on the dash, its a 6cyl with the 4 speed auto trans.   My problems is this:   Used the 4x4 in HI range this past weekend on my property to pull some old tree limbs to the dump and also at my friends place as well. No off roading or any of that stuff just used it to get up the lawn instead of tearing the lawn up.   Now I'm having issues with the 4x4 disengaging, it goes back into 2 HI but the transfer case is staying locked in. I can move/spin the front shafts but the shaft that goes to/into the transfer case doesn't move or spin at all. It used to move freely when in 2 HI but now it doesn't.   All my tests that I have done so far is with the truck sitting on the ground running and in park.   I know the 4x4 front shafts are disengaged because the wheels move freely across the pavement. When engaged they do the chopping and sliding event. THIS not my problem its to the transfer case is where its all happening.   I am having a lot of drag on the road to the point its eating my gas mileage. There is a slight vibration and I have to lean into it to get it moving.   One tranny shop told me it could be some plastic pins or bushings in the transfer case or possibly a fork or two that are going/have gone bad. Without opening it up they cannot tell me what it could be. The price could be a 100 or 200 up to a grand for a used rebuilt transfer case installed.
#21 of 34 Transfer case, Transmission, Differential, etc. by ajaks Jul 02, 2008 (12:01 pm)
I was wondering if anyone answers questions on this list. Made about a dozen posts on another one of these lists over the last 10 months and the only reply was the host moving one of my post from the front page to the back page.   From reading past replies it seems there are some pretty smart cookies out there but cannot get a bite on any of my post.   Oh well, if anyone is out there tell me to kiss your ass or something.

Replying to: ajaks (Jul 02, 2008 12:01 pm) Had same problem with mine. there is a diofram under the battery case,with a cable going to the trans front case. push it several times to reset the system. if that doesnt work,let me know. it worked for me.
