Connecting the gray hose will keep the front axle locked in. But if you have manual hubs you can unlock those and it will be the same as the actuator unlocking once you shift the t-case to 2wd. The light will always blink in 2wd though because it will see the front axle always locked in.

i have autolocking hubs, so will it affect my front axel if i keep it hooked up the gray hose way?

'97 should have drive flanges instead of manual or auto hubs from the factory. Drive flanges act like hubs that are always locked so the front cv shafts will turn all the time.

The numbers in front of the year are the months. Sometimes they make changes in the middle of a model year. That part number is for the solenoids and bracket all together. They dont sell them separately. Much cheaper to find some in a salvage yard if you can.
