Default 2002 Blazer - Loud bang when disengaging from 4WD Hi to 2WD

I have a 2002 S10 Blazer (3 Button).It shifts into 4WD Hi fine but when I go to put it back into 2 wheel there is a delay, sometime several miles and the a loud bang like someone hit the bottom of the vehicle with a hammer. I have changed out the vacuum front axle actuator (under the battery) and I am in the process of changing the Front Axle Actuator Solenoid Valve, which I currently can't locate on the vehicle (it's not on the firewall).

Am I replacing the right items and is there anything else that I need to look at?

What about a vacuum switch on the transfer case? (Not sure if thats what it's called)

You can't locate it because you don't have one.
It's the 4 button version that uses the firewall mounted solenoid, not the 3 button ones.

I'm not a mechanic, but it sounds like it's your shift motor acting up.
