I have a 2014 5.3 z71 Silverado. Been having problems with 4x4 I replaced 4wd actuator and transfer case motor. I continue to get a service 4wd on dash. Any help how to get this fixed really don’t know what else to do.

Welcome to this forum!  Sometimes it is worth taking your vehicle to the professionals.  Find a reputable GM service center or 4X4 specialty shop in your area and pay the extra.  It may actually end up saving you time and money!

Its got to have all the codes read in the truck.  They will shine a light on as to what part or system is causing your issue.  I'd get someone to scan it or invest in $100 and get a Blue Driver OBD scan tool.  The Blue Driver can pull codes for all modules on most GM vehicles.  

 

Throwing parts = $$$$$$$$$

Not enough information to even start to help.  What is it doing other than showing a light?  Not engaging at all.  Engaging 4WD LO but not 4WD HI or vice versa?  Jack your truck up off the ground with all four wheels in the air.  Engage 4WD, what spins and what doesn't?  Noises?  You get my point.  Not really enough to go off of here.  Sounds like you might just want someone to take a look at it if you can't put a little more effort into diagnosing the issue.  Nothing against you or your skills.  But you have to give us more to go on here.

It engages both low and hi 4wd all four tires spin it works fine for a while until it says its turning it off on its own. That’s when the service 4wd light comes out. After it says it’s turning it off it feels as if the transfer case is still engaged but front tires don’t spin.

Feels like?  Jack up all four wheels and find out where the disconnect is and what is turning and what is not.

Old school knowledge here.  Got to just find out where it's turning and where it's not when the problem occurs.  Also could be a ground issue.  There is a main ground usually on the frame by the driver's side door to ground the system.

I’ve also noticed doesn’t do it all the time but while driving it will go into gear a little hard.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
