Asked by Chefgonzo73 Oct 19, 2017 at 07:11 PM about the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I’ve replaced the buttons and front actuator on the front
axle on my 2005 Chevy Silverado 5.3L ... the truck will not
stay in 2 wheel drive .. will go into neutral and will only
move if I put it into Auto 4 wheel drive .. but in 4 wheel
drive it shifts hard into gears and turns hard when making
turns! Thought with a new actuator and new push buttons
it would fix but no luck!

If the actuator is working properly but you are still stuck in 4WD then the transfer case may have a problem.
