I would recomend calling a dealership for your vacuum diagrams and having them fax them to you.

I would start diagnosing your cruise control situation by checking the fuses. If the fuse is good its possible your multi function switch is bad. To see if the multi switch is bad your goin to have to pop off the front cover on your steering wheel and probe the connections for the cruise control with a volt-meter to see if your getting any current through them. From the sounds of it your obviously not gettin any current if the switches arent even lighting.

I don't know bout the 4wd light because of me having. Aftermarket gauges and not ever knowing wen I was in 4wd but it does engage and tires do spin but my *** end is everywere its not like every year I use to be able to plow thre snow like nothing!! I found the vacum lines and found one that was melted so I replaced that and still does not seem to be working right. You can hear the gears not seeming to locking in right on the frnt axle but I did have the frnt axle cover off and didn't see any metal bits or anything ....I'm so lost an want to get this fixed!! Thanks for the replys keep them comming. Seems that. One of the hubs are locking up or something ......also how do u get the steering wheel cover off to check that

These trucks are notorious for having brake fluid leak and eat the vacuum lines for the 4x4.
