    Hey everyone,
    I recently had no 4wd in my 03 due to the electric motor and plastic cap on the actuator being shot.
    It turns out it's hard to find a new actuator for the 03 so I experimented with one that was meant for an 05.
    By replacing the black plastic cap from the newer actuator I was able to get my truck into 4wd.

    Hopefully this will help some of you guys out there now or in the future.

    The part I used is below:

    Here is an older post I made that explains in more detail what I was trying to do / did.
