Check for vacuum at the switch on the back of the T-case. First, can you engage it at the T-case, just not at the front axle?

Re: 4x4 won't engage

It takes small amount of vacuum to engage the front axle, barely noticable. I would first remove the switch from the T-case and make sure its not stuck. Mine was. If its good, double check your lines ,then remove the vacuum motor assembly from the axle and inspect the diaphram. <ost times though it'll be the vacuum switch on the T-case.
