1. A shift actuator comprising:
a motor that drives a drum assembly having a disconnect track and a range track, wherein operation of the motor rotates the drum assembly about a rotational axis, wherein the drum assembly includes a drum cam and a drum shaft, wherein the drum cam and the drum shaft are rotationally fixed with respect to one another, and wherein the drum cam is axially slidable relative to the drum shaft;
a fork rod that is positioned parallel with the rotational axis;
a disconnect fork that is slidably coupled with the disconnect track and the fork rod;
a range fork that is slidably coupled with the range track and the fork rod, wherein:
the disconnect track and the range track define a plurality of actuating positions of the disconnect fork and the range fork; and
the plurality of actuating positions are defined by corresponding flat portions of the disconnect track and the range track that maintain a position of the disconnect fork and the range fork, respectively, relative to the fork rod.
