Step by step removal and installation of e-locker 3rd member

I waited no time to add the fluid, never had any issues with leaks. But I'm sure others will chime in to say to wait a few hours for the RTV sealant to cure

 

Thanks MonkeyProof!

 

You've done this enough times, maybe you can answer my question. I used your method of unbolting the brake line hangers so i didnt have to crack the lines and after i got everything bolted back up i noticed my back brakes were rubbing horribly before i hooked the ebrake back up. i had to go inside the drums and adjust everything so they dont rub when im not on the brakes, but now it feels like i dont have any back brakes and my is at full adjustment and its barley grabbing. Just seeing if youve ever run into this issue

 

check the angle on your rear brake proportioning valve maybe?

 

I have never had this issue before. And unless you disassembled the brake shoes to remove the ebrake cable I don't know what the issue would be.

 

Thanks, I was worried because the instructions stated:
"Finger tighten until material begins to squeeze out around flange. Allow to dry for one hour then retighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn. 4. Silicone will skin over in one hour and fully cure in 24 hours under normal conditions. Allow more time for cold or very dry conditions."
I was worried I had to wait 24 hours since there would likely be some RTV in the rear end.

 

i never touched the drums. all i did was pull each axle out and slide them back in. Its pissing me off and im gonna end up buying a disc conversion because of these stupid drums

 

Yes. I'm not a complete fuck tard

Dive in reverse real fast and slam on the brakes... should set the rear... although not positive this works on our trucks

 

No one said or thought you were.....until now.

 

So I just filled and was going to go for a test drive, ABS and rear locker light are on. Hmmmm. I know I moved the fork back over, maybe it didn't seat correctly. Any thoughts?

 

I woukd make sure that the connectors are pushed in all the way, you shojkd have heard and felt a click. Also, have you tried to engage and disengage the locker while driving? It would be safe and harmless to do on pavement if driving in a straight line. You can also remove the locker motor to try and move the fork again.

 

Thanks, will try all of that.

 

So this guy I know followed the directions real well when they were in red, he however didn't follow the part about shifting the fork back after the install of the 3rd. What a dumbass he was.....

Thanks for the help!

 

oh trust me i know. and it normally is the simple stuff that gets over looked
