I would check for a vacuum leak at the actuator. If the vacuum is not strong enough, the internal collar will not engage the outer axle. A crummy system if there ever was one.

Diagnosing 4WD Engagement Problems on Dodge Ram pickups


Could be many differetn issues, but it is something to do with the CAD if the front driveshaft is engaging.

Home made POSI LOCK write up - JeepForum.com

This is much cheaper than the commercially built posti-locker. Either one of these not only gives a reliable system but also gives the option of having 2wd low range. this is great for backing up to trailers and easing through tight spots. I have cattle and low range is a much better speed for leading cattle. :drool2: is what they do when they see or hear the diesel truck aka feed wagon.

Go with the posi lock. I have seen lots of home made copies which are as reliable as the real deal until they are stuck so deep that you can't even find the front axle. Then they fail and you are totally screwed. I have one on my Jeep and one on the diesel. Worth the extra expense.

does your cruise control work? if not check that vaccume under the drivers side battery.
