Why does my GMC 2500 front axle not engage?
I have recently purchased a 2000 GMC 2500. Today we got a lot of snow so i went to put it into 4×4 and the front axle did not engage. The transfer case is working and engaged with the front axle spinning as it should. Any idea on what the problem could be or where to start looking? Thanks.

Why is the front wheel not engaged in a 4×4?
Could be possible that the transfer case is bad, and what you’re seeing is the driveshaft turning because the actuators have kicked in… but the only reason its turning is because the front wheels are. About the only way I could think of to rule that out would be to lift all 4 wheels and put it in gear.
