Re: 2000 Sierra Z71 Auto 4wd issues

Could be that something electrical with a switch or even a fuse is bad and may be sending the wrong signals to the actuator. Or maybe even the actuator itself is bad. Also when you are in 4wd on pavement or stone your wheels should not spin, at all. To test if your 4wd is working, engauge it on a dirt road or stones and floor it, if it is working you should spin very little and if it isnt working you will definatly know. Not a good idea to put the truck in 4wd unless you plan on using it for something, ie: do not go down the road in 4wd as it will cause things to wear and eventually break. My best guess would be a relay switch or maybe even the actuator itself, but you should get it checked out.
