You got front axle disconnect? If so sounds like the vacum went out on the actuator.

vacuum disconnect on the axle. being welded you need it to work correctly. can't shim it cause driving will suck being welded. you will either have to go to a posi-lock or fix the vac.

i don't know that much about axles, and even less about vacum, any ideas on how to fix it? where is the actuator located ect ect ect

But instead of shimming it, you will need to follow all the directions to fix it. Here is another post to help

You might want to look up the Posi-lock on the net and see if that might be an easier fix for you.
