Hello Christopher,

    I had the same prob with my syncro after having some difficulty and
high-centering in some snow.  This served to knock off the vacuum servo unit
that engages the diff-lock.  Look under the van where the two rear drivlines
come together you will see a box with hoses on it.  Betcha there is one that has
benn knocked off.  Put it make on and start up the engine with the diff knob in
the 'off' position.  Hope this helps.
