alright, so first thing i did was jack up all for corners, tried it driveshaft spinds, still nothing at the wheels
so i pulled the battery trade, and pulled the cable locked with vicegrips, and tried again.
still, nothing.
so this leads me to think that my problem lies in the front diff?
form what i understand, whether i have vacuum at the actuator or not, that still should have locked my front diff.

did you check the actuator for rips ? leaks ?
Did you disconnect the cable and pull it manually with channel locks ?

i was pullling on the cable itself manually, before the rubber diaphragm, so even if it had a leak, it should have effected it, seeing as i already had the cable pulled

a seized up cable could be stopping your front axles to engage
thats what happened to mine
turned out i had a kink in it
I was able to pull it but not enough to engage the axles
IF you need an idea how to replace the axle cable i can send you a front end manual
Edit: the manual is posted in attachments
this should show you how to replace the cable if you plan too

when i pull the cable, it pulls a bit, then feels like it locks into place,
know what i mean kinda?
if i need to replace the front end, then im just guna sell it.
i dont have enough time for to replace the axle before winter, and i need 4x4 for the winter.

so, heres an update.
talkin to more people, decided to pull the cover off the pot, to see if something was broke or sheered or somthing,
and as it turns out, there are no gears in the front diff.
greaaaaaaaaaat so some cheap previous owner, torched the front diff,
and decided to not put anything back in.
