The kit only engages the axle so if you put it in 4H and don't lock up the axle- you're still only in 2wd. If you put the transfer case in 4L and don't lock the axle you're in 2L essentially. The propeller shaft will spin the diff, but the wheels up front won't drive. It just spins the diff and the stub in the center of the axle.

Attempting this tomorrow morning on my 95 Ram 2500 V10. I watched the video twice. I think it helped me understand the instructions better. I found a vacuum line off near the transfer case. I fixed it and it still didn't work,so decided on the cable lock system.i parked on frozen ground, the next day the temps climbed to 60 degrees and the ground got all soggy. Nothing more pathetic than getting stuck in wet grass next to your driveway. Lol

Hi Brian.. I've had a '97 2500 (12 valve) for a few years. 4WD-hi works fine (still with the vacuum setup, though), but I've never been able to shift it into the neutral or 4WD-low positions. Do you happen to know if there's some interlock that might be preventing me from being able to push the lever over to the right to get to those positions? I've never gotten around to looking closely at this, and I figured you might save me some time if you've encountered this before.

I've had one on my 87 wrangler for over 10 years. Basically no failure points. Awesome upgrade to any 4x4. With the combination of lockers, it's unstoppable. I honestly can't believe you don't hear more people swapping out electronic and vacuum systems for these. There's no question of engaging or disengaging. Ever. Plus you can play with having the t case engaged but having the front axle disengaged. Wish I had found this when I installed mine, but it's really very straightforward.

If the kit was installed correctly, the light is still tied into the vacuum system. To engage 4 wheel drive, stop the vehicle, put the transmission in neutral, put the transfer case in 4 high or 4 low, while slowly rolling forward push in the button on the cable actuator and pull the knob back.

It doesn't come on all the time, maybe once or twice a month and goes off in a few hrs to a few days--- any suggestions since like i said the sensor is under 2 years old and would just have it without the intermittent on and off, last time i got an inspection as the guy was pulling it out the light went on Any ideas?

awesome video. I know next to nothing about deisel engines. Everything I have learned was for the four stroke, but on Trucks on TNT they had a deisel pickup and they installed a five position switch to adjust the torque. And you can set it more aggresive or less. In one position he was doing burn-outs and in another he was hauling a fifth wheel. I like how your videos are thorough because they always jump around and never show the whole job.
