If they're the same engine then yes. FYI, be careful when removing the return hose, they like to disintegrate. There should be a two wire switch on the front differential, it's right next to the actuator. I would start there. Another possibility is that the actuator for the front diff is stuck...

Don't mind me just another stranger here to add his $.02. Personally I've never had a bad experience with seafoam. I've used it many times and it has seemed to help in any case I've used it. here's a video to support my statement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agAWXnT4-EQ I look at Seafoam...
