Nice Clutch!!! and new coilovers!?

 

yessir, gonna rep a local company that seriously helps out their customer's and our Rock therapy moan event. pretty stoked, this year the trucks gonna have some sweet goodies

 

New goodies!!!! High five!

 

Uuhh... not certain what event you are going to. I don't want to know about your "moan" event. It probably includes baby oil.

 

^^^^

 

I didn't even have to say it cuz I knew gramps would

I hope I can make it out again!

 

sweet get some practice installing a clutch cause I have one that needs to go in too

 

how the fuck did baby oil come back around to me? dammit.... fubard that one up

 

Hehe.

 

went up to breckenridge to do a bit of snow recon for my sleds... good news> snow gets deep quick. picture was takin at ~9500ft, got passed by some trail sleds on their way up the pass. got me excited

Bad news is my locker wasnt working for me. pisses me of. i hear it actuate but light keeps flashing. got diag it tuesday. hopfully its just the limit switch..... but damn, its frustrating.

 

Nice snow and sucky about the locker. Hopefully it's something simple.

NICE!! how was i not subd to this dang thread yet

 

that looks sick with the swing up cut off, sits nicely tucked up to the cab!! I still need to get all the stuff to do my spare tire on end like you have in your truck bed, soon hopefully soon!!

 

yeah ended up sitting right where i like it!



new suspension goin in tomorrow!

 

I'm guessing you have the grey wire mod? If you do and the wiring is good for the mod it eliminates the low range t-case switch so diagnostic is not needed.

You said you hear the actuator working? No locker? Or did you get the diff lock and the light was just flashing?

There are range switches in the locker motor that are common to fail due to corrosion. You can take it apart and clean them up, and do a general cleanup when you are in there of the motor comm and brushes. It is a bitch to get the brushes and comm back in. I usually need a 2nd set of hands to do it. If the range switches are going open when they are not supposed to it could cause an incomplete motor movement and no engaugement.

If you had a locked rear diff, look at the external switch as that is the final confirmation of diff lock.

Did you already rebuild this once? I was talking to someone about rebuild an actuator and I have no clue who it was.

I might have a motor you could throw in there to test if you like

 

yeah i rebuilt it 2 weeks ago or so. the brushes were terrible. full of corrosion. i cleaned everything and threw it back together with new lube. followed a write up on pirate. it worked great that day, hadnt touched it since, til yesterday. in the snow it was really hard to tell if it was actually locking or not. i can hear it moving what sounds like the full range of movement.... im gonna try and diag it tomorrow. im hopin the actuator is actually locking the diff but the position switch is bad... i may be texting u tomorrow.

 

lol, i havent had a problem 1 in 5 years til now...
