Look what followed the Wildflower home.

I really like the rear window.  I've seen that one before.  However, I can't quite figure out the side graphics.  I think I see a guy wearing a helmet behind a fence?  I'm just a little slow...

So far I am not finding a quick answer to an issue with Tammy's Blazer.   When we got it, the 4x4 vacuum actuator was blown.  I replaced that this week.  I do not know if the 4x4 floor shifter is original to this vehicle.  WHen the shifter is in 2 wheel drive, it pulls vacuum. That vaccum is what pulls on the actuator into 4 wheel drive.  When you put it in 4 wheel drive, it pulls very little vaccum, but still enough to pull the actuator.   I'm not sure how this entire system works. Is there another switch or solenoid that could be malfunctioning? When the guy that Tammy got is from had it, he pullled out the cable going to the from Diff from the actuator and put a pair of vice grips on it to put it in 4wd.

The 95 dodge I use is slow to engage or disengage the front axel sometimes, I was thinking of getting a direct cable to bypass the vacuum system all together.

If my memory is correct , early blazers used a transfer case select switch , has three hoses , vacuum hose from the engine ,vent hose and vacuum hose to the canister you replaced . You should not have vacuum in 2 WD as you stated , only when 4 WD is selected . I would guess either some one has switched the hoses or the switch is faulty. Found this online at NAPA , this may solve the problem , No guarantee though .

If the cable pulls hard it may also need to be replaced .

Do you recall the principles on how that switch works? If it faiked could it create full vacuum in the 2wd position?

Yes , you are correct . No vacuum is required in 2WD , kind of a fail safe so you do not run in 4WD as they will tear things up on dry pavement . I suggest you test for vacuum at the switch . In the normal 2 WD one should have full vacuum and the others should not . In 4WD you have vacuum from the engine and one other should put full vacuum the the canister you replaced . The other hose is to release the canister vacuum when 4WD is canceled. If you have full vacuum at the switch then their is a leak in the hose to the vacuum canister. As I recall those switches were trouble some . That is how I remember it working .
