the cable that connects the actuator to the tranny on my 96 blazer is corroded and locked up...anyone know where i can order a new one? so far ive tried autozone and ebay with no luck

Most likely have to go to the dealer, or www.GMpartsdirect.com

thanks, by any chance do you know what that part is called?

4WD actuator cable. I looked for it on the website and they don't list it. Call the dealer and get the part number then enter it in the gmparts direct search box.

Have a GM dealer look it up and order it for you??? I assume it is still available.
