When you have the transfer case in 4 low and the front axle disengaged (2 low as you said in the video), does that mean that there is power going to the front differential still but not to the front axle shafts?

Yes, the driveshaft is spinning, but the differential is free to spin as well because the outer shaft isn’t connected

So if you depress the button and rotate it counter clockwise you can increase the engagement of the shift collar, inversely if you rotate it counter clockwise you disengage it. I’ve found that the adjustment of the cable is critical to this thing functioning properly.

i installed one of those, and it was so frustrating when it just pulls off the cable. the whole red button pat just comes completely off the cable. are you saying you are engaging the actuator for front wheel drive and 4 wheel drive? im understanding that when you shift gears to 2L for example, it gears you down.. but what happens if you shift to 4H or 4L without pulling the actuator?
@uzifouryoutwosay

When you pull the actuator towards you, it pulls the locking collar on the axle to engage the front axle for 4WD. If you pull the shift lever on the transfer case to either 4H or 4L without engaging the shift collar, the practical effect is 2H and 2L

Yup it replaces the vacuum diaphragm. Honestly though, I think that the functioning vacuum system is better than this unit. I’m generally underwhelmed wit it outside of me being able to use 2wd low to back trailers downhill with heavy loads

Mine came with one of these, when i throw the floor lever into a gear and then pull the cable i get no lights or anything. My drive shaft isnt in currently is there a way to manually shift the t case to see if everything is working right? I had no idea this is what that was

So the T-case won’t effect the light coming on. There are two wires going down to the 4wd light switch, you can adjust the engagement of the posi-lok by rotating it clockwise and counter clockwise to get it where it should be. You can check if it’s working by attempting to rotate the pinion while engaged, if your pinion won’t move, the collar is either partially or completely engaged. Check the wires (held down by two phillips head screws) on the switch to see if theres a bad connection there as well.

@@uzifouryoutwosay thank you so much man, I’ll definitely look into it, the only wiring i saw is a sensor/plug that’s connected to where the diaphragm once was one of the wires is broken so that may be my issue but i will definitely try to rotate the pinion and see what it does i was wondering what the rotation was for
@uzifouryoutwosay

If one of those wires is broken, for sure that is a reason your light isn’t coming on. The Tcase actually just has a vacuum switch on it, no electronics, so there’s nothing to worry about there.
