The front axle actuator is on the front axle itself. It is located to the passenger side of the differential 'pumpkin'. The original actuator in your truck is an electro-magnet. GM has since revised the design and has a kit that will upgrade it to the stepper motor version which doesn't draw anywhere near the current.
