99 Toyota Won't Go In 4WD

[davbell22602]

99 Toyota Tacoma 4wd, manual trany, both shifters on the floor, and has almost 200K.


Wont go in 4wd. When in 4H or 4L the "RR diff lock" light blinks. I looked under it yesterday and only thing I found that needed replaced as far as hoses is the vacuum hose thats on top the transfercase under the shifter going to the passenger side of the trany. Both ends were dry rotting. When the owner gets a another hose for me to put back on I'll report if that was it or not. 4wd last worked in August but all sudden just stopped engaging. Any ideas others and how to check it?

At 200K I'm gonna go out on a limb and say something is worn out.

Hope not

That's a ton of miles.

I read several of these and it sounds like there might be some good info in here for you. I doubt too many of the folks here have experience with that ride.

Most likely the problem. Start with the obvious.

I know you mentioned it was a 4wd truck but is it possibly a 2wd?

 

[daddy]

Would it be safe to say you've got '99 problems?

Would it be safe to say you've got '99 problems?

And stuck in 4wd ain't one of them?

Does it have a good sound system in it?
