Firstly hi all, new to the forum.
The truck is a '94 surf 3.0td manual. And the problem is I have no power going to the front wheels. Spent hours looking on here for possible problems and solutions so have narrowed it down a bit so here goes...
When shifting into 4wd, both high and low, the light does not come on and drive does not engage. I read on here that bypassing the VSV going to the front axle to make it permanently engaged is one way to test the front, doing so and jacking the front passenger side shows it is in fact engaging so the problem is not there.
While doing so, while the shifter is in both 4H and 4L, the front prop rotates, as these do not have a centre diff surly this should not happen? So my guess is the transfer box is not engaging. The 4wd is used often but not in the past few weeks so I am thinking the selector has possibly got stuck? And if so how do I inspect it and repair?
Hope someone can help
