the transfer case encoder motor places the vehicle in 4wd...



the front locking actuator locks the front axles together...in auto 4wd the front axles are locked..

your problem may be the transfercase or the encoder motor...the fluid in the transfercase should be changed and it should be blue...trac II fluid only...if metal comes out then you know its in need of rebuild...also the encoder motor and the dash switch assy are by far the most common failures...

My dad had a problem similiar to this with his truck, as it turned out, his right front tire was smaller then the left. You may want to measure the circumference of each tire to see if there is a large disparity.
