Why won't my 1996 gm front differential engage in 4 wheel drive?

There is an electric solenoid that engages the front axle. Most likely that is what is bad. The unscrew out of the front axle and its a pretty easy fix. When you get it out, there are 2 wires on it, 1 pos and 1 neg. You can hook it up to a battery to test it.

What is the advantage of a four-wheel drive vs a six-wheel drive?
Four wheel drive tends to be lighter, and less complex.. with a six wheel drive (such as in the M35, M39, M913, etc. series military trucks), you usually have to have an interaxle differential lock. In normal operations, tandem axle trucks, such as dump trucks, tractor trailers, etc. only have one axle which drives them forward. When they need to, the driver can engage the differential lock to engage the second drive axle. On a 6x6 truck, such as the type described above, the transfer case would be used to engage the front axle.
