    Quick question here. 1) Last week, I replaced my passenger side CV axle. 2) This week, I find that the truck will not engage four-wheel drive. First time I've tried in a long time.

    Could the two be related?

    Maybe related, maybe not. If you engage 4X4 regularly it does help keep everything in working order. But it usually takes longer than a couple of months. In this case my guess is that something assembled correctly after the CV replacement.
