Problem: When low ratio is selected front diff will not engage but works in high four wheel drive.
Question: Is low for front diff engaged purely by selection lever, or is it engaged electrically over vacuum?

If it's anything like the 4Runner/Hi-Lux Surf, it's by vacuum. Are the hubs in Lock position?
yes, Front hubs are engaged
I remember reading on an off-road website on how to check the vacuum hoses on a 4Runner. I remember the early 90's 4Runner and LC shared the same engine and drive train, with the possible exception of Diesel engines. If you do a search for "88 Toyota Land Cruiser", you might find the link or a shop manual.
I have a copy of a shop manual in pdf, but I need to look for it on one of my PCs.
