4WD HIGH NOT WORKING (1998 4Runner)
I have a 1998 4Runner v6 3.4L 5spd that I bought this summer which has been nothing but a headache. It turns out the previous owner took it to Moab which cost me $3000 in complete rear end after 2 failed rear axle seal replacements (bent rear axle & diff) & new U-joints in the front. Also, 4WD High does not work. We put it on a lift and tested both 4hi & 4Lo and the diff. definitely wasn't engaging in 4WD high. We then switched the blue & brown vacuum hoses and 4hi worked but 4lo didn't. The dash light even indicated the same thing. The other issue I have is a grinding/whining noise in the front end (seems like front right). It could be unrelated but thought I mention it in case. I haven't found any threads with this issue and don't have enough posts to start a thread since I'm new. Any advice on where to go from here is appreciated! Thx!
