OK here it goes i just picked up a 96 blazer she needs some work but not to bad only 140k in miles the guy told me he thinks it has 4x4 but there's no floor shifter and and no switch i seen pic's were there is the 4hi lo n 2hi next to the 2 vents above the cd player but i have nothing there not even a cover i try taking every thing off but did not see a pig tale back there it has the t-case front drive shaft cv joint's there but I'm going nuts try to find this out can anyone help me out here

 

Time to get diggin. Sounds like the plug got shoved down into the back. So what. Is there just a hole in the dash where the switch would go? I hope it wasn't cut off. Makes you think why was it taken out in the first place? Could it have been a 2x4 to 4x4 conversion uncompleted?

If you need to know what the plug looks like I'll take a pic and upload it as it's easy to pop the switch out to get to the plug.

 

if this is the case there most likely would be no tccm yet either, where is it located in a 96? my 01 it's behind the passanger kick panel


did they have manual 4x4 in 96? if so maybe they put a center conole over the whole?


have you pulled the dash panel off yet to dig a bit? it should be there.

 

well i looked all over this thing be for i put this up n didnt find anything but i look around from post to post and found out there's a few out there that are awd with sucks i have to check the rpo codes n it should tell me if it is or not but i wanted to lift it a lil now i have to find out if there's a kit for that or what i have to do

 

If you figure out what transfer case you have, that should tell you if it is AWD or 4x4. IF you crawl underneath the truck, there is a metal circle riveted to the T-Case that tells you what model it is. Chances are unless it is one of the rare AWD's you should see NP233 or NV233 and if that is the case, it is time to get that dash off and start digging for that connector to hook that switch back up, and then got to make sure there is a TCCM behind the kick panel. Good Luck

 

don't the awd still have a switch?
auto 4wd...

 

The auto 4WD's is a separate system. The AWD system is a dedicated AWD system with a dedicated 30-70 split i think, but it could be different. The Auto 4WD engages the front axle but does not send power to the front wheels till a slip is detected in the rear wheels

 

dose any1 know how the awd handles off road ? i would guess good seeing u shouldn't have to worry about getting stuck that much.
