Donkey dink actuator OR the power from the tcase switch ,

 

You need a service manual to self diagnose this

Thanks for the input when I get under the truck and mess around with the linkage I can get the motor or the actuator not sure what it is but it makes like a whiring noise kicks on but I adjusted the linkage as much as I could and still seems to be loose not sure if there is some kind of electrical contact on the tcase houseing or if its really just the sloppy plastic ball clips cant be too sure untill its a bit warmer out this'll do for now thanks

Mechanical t cases are easy , the shifter shaft closes a switch that insentually tell the donkey dink to apply the front diff shift collar ,

 

Get a schematic .... Alldata.com $27/ yr , no brainer imo
