Help : 4WD actuator position

I’m laying under the truck trying to figure out the proper position for the 4WD actuator.

I’ve pulled it apart and reassembled about 6 times now.

if anyone has a link or if o in how to position the wheel so the sensors read properly please help a fella out.

it’s day 2 under this thing and I’m out of patience now.

also kick the engineer in the gonads who designed this and didn’t put any markings on it. A hole.

 

When I get in front of a big screen tonight I'll look up a post that helped me. It tells you the three pistons of the TC rod, and advice on clocking, and insertion of the small gear.

these may help along with the FSM

 

THX @KNABORES

thx KNABORES, I haven't actually fixed mine/got it to go into 4Lo.
These are more good info to study.

 

I think i might understand what needs to happen... Although I'm hesitant to climb under the thing for the thrid day in a row to not make it work.

What would work though: someone pops the housing apart on a working unit to verify the position when it is in 2WD, and then take a picture of it for the rest to have a baseline. (Not asking anyone - it is a hassle)

I believe the 2WD position will be at the one end of the contacts and the third rail will not touch. Maybe I can get a picture to describe later.

Nothing helpful in the FSM, I looked.

 

So, here is what I have collected that I thought would help me. Keep in mind I Have not gotten back under there just like you, but I did have it apart and clean it, and get 4Hi working. I am guessing that I am a few teeth off on the gear.
A couple screen shots I took, I'm not searching for the actual posts.




If you want to confirm if it is positioned in 2H this shows what readings you should have in 2H.
