ok so here it goes.
working at a dealership i have access to a lot seeing that we used to be a pontiac dealership a isuzu. i.e gm tech 2 so on and so on. a long with isuzu parts catalogue. isuzu ascender = chevy trailblazer.
the problem.
4x4 does not engage.
2004 Trailblazer LT 4.2 with 2hi, aw4d, 4hi and 4lo, 110,000 miles/current
i put the truck on a lift the other day and i can hear the transfer case encoder and the actuator moving. the front wheels do not get power at all. i can see the front drive shaft (propeller) moving and hear what sound like 2 gears barely making contact with each other. i can not pinpoint the sounds location on the differential or the what gm calls a intermediate shaft bearing assembly (i would just call it an axle disconnect) being that they are right next to each other. according to gm (see pciture below) #56 is discontinued. #57 does not even show part information.
the real problem is i have no idea what i need to do to see if that is bad or not and i can not afford to be down my vehicle as i have no other right now. can someone please point me in a direction.
