Re: 1998 Chevy S10 4WD loud whining coming from front end [rydogg]

More than likely the Vacuum Actuator under the Battery tray is not working or the cable that goes from the Vacuum Actuator to the axle is bad. It could be that one of your wheel hubs have bad bearings and need to be replaced for the axle to mesh with the hub.
