If I stick a screwdriver into the actuator slot I can move the pin in a little bit like I would assume I should be able to. Really stumped here. I would think if it was anything bad in the diff it would make a rough/bad noise but it doesn’t make any noise… Not to be a dick, but had you done what I suggested initially you would be way better off. You need to follow the procedure Adam and I outlined to figure out what your issue is. Did you try moving the truck forward a little to see if it locks in? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/4wd-wont-engage-2000-silverado/267979)._
