The truck:
2003 Ford F150
V6 4.2 liter
Automatic transmission
Regular cab

The problem is that when i try to engage the 4WD. It sound like the transfer case engages but the front axle does not. Can anyone help with this problem??

 

Double check your solenoids vacuum Lines and vaccuum actuator. If all of those things are good then it could be you front diff clutch fork that locks the front axle in. It's right inside the diff. I just changed mine last week

 

I had the same problem with my 2002. One of my vacuum lines came off the solenoid. Easy fix.

I didnt find out until I buried it in a mud hole though. Got towed out by a Chevy. FAIL.

 

Was looking into 4X4 stuff and found this...maybe it will help.

It was the fork and i took it to my local garage and got it fixed for $300. it only took about 2 hours. thank you

 

man did you get a good deal.. local 4x4 place here wanted 500ish and my ford dealer wanted 1000 so i did it my self but hell the fork kit was 230 after tax i would have gladly paid the extra 70 for someone else to do it lol but did learn how all that crap works now...btw its more than likely to break again its such a cheesy pos part.

 

Sorry try this one..
