Won't engage 4WD on the move?

[BUSHWHACKER]

cool, just excuse my ignorance once more, why have they this setup included, would they not just leave it out if it works better....

Dunno, can't see the point of it myself, just over complicates the system.

You can sect 4wd, wait for it to engage then blank off the pipes to hold the sliding collar in position.
But eventually the vacuum may leak out and the collar will gradually slide back the other way and you'll have to reconnect the vacuum lines to pull it back if you want 4wd again.

If you follow the instructions in that link, you'll have it all done within an hour. The longest part is waiting for the diff oil to drain so you can get the actuator assembly off to 'lock' the collar in position.

You have a 3rd gen, you're supposed to have a flashing light till it engages. (or not, as yours does sometimes... lol )

Us lowly 2nd gen owners don't get a light till it actually selects, till then we're in the dark...

I forgot the old ones are differant BUT then the 2nd gens are Soooo much better than the 3rd gens OR at least they are till you have fixed mine then I can revert back to the truth...
