I went to the store about 10 minutes away last night in 4wd and when I got there there I got out of the truck (1988 chevy 305 4X4) and I smelled this burning wire insullation smell. I lifted the hood and couldn't smell it much. It was mostly outside the driver side door, and a little in the cab. I drove it home about 30 mins. later. I used 4wd as little as possible on the way home and smelled it only a little when I got home.
Was this possibly the actuator? I read the thread about 4wd not engaging and although I didn't blow a fuse, I'm thinking this could be it. Any other ideas?
This is my first 4wd and I have questions about how to drive, when to shift, running on pavement. I'll post that q separtely.
Thanks! Dan
