To Whom It May Concern:
Much to my delight, I recently purchased a 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer - on the 13th of July. It was a Friday.
Today, two weeks later, while continuing to give it a good once-over, replacing broken / worn parts and a tune-up, I found that my 4WD Disconnect and Actuator were decimated!
Sorry...the pictures posted sideways.
Much, much, much to my dismay, it appears some novice has removed the 4WD Disconnect and zip-tied the 4WD Actuator to the wheel control arm.
My TB runs fine with no fuse in the 4WD fuse socket - essentially a RWD truck. With the fuse in, the TB throws a code C0379. I would like to restore the truck to its' original functionality.
I am prepared to spend the several hundred dollars on the parts needed to repair my vehicle; however, I need knowledge and admonition to complete the task myself.
I need to know if this is a disconnect and actuator replacement or am I going to have to remove and replace something else like bearings and seals? Please, help!
Thank you for reading. Thank you for any and all assistance.
