Thanks for watching!

Good video, I too have purchased one of these set ups...I'm in agreement w/ your observations. a little more effort could have gone into this unit. Poor instructions. as an engineer and machinist i had to make some changes, but i would like to offer some tips. First knowing the approximate location of the cable thru hole, its easier to use a 20" long 3/16" electricians drill and from the engine side pop a starter hole just right of the brake booster bracket flange, then finish w/ your step bit from the inside ....yes the instructions are backwards on location Second the cable gets routed to the outside of the frame rail, not the inside, this keeps it away from the exhaust and cut the grommet at an angle and lastly i don't like the way the knob floats ...it needs some resistance to lock open and closed, it should have a friction adjustment to stop this. i can easily see the knob vibrating and turning in/out by itself causing a partial engagement and cause damage to the axle....why does it have to have push/pull and turn?....it should have just turn only and ball detent to keep it in position. I made some special mods to do this and lock it in place...also I modified the brass switch nut to accept the factory switch because i wanted to retain the weather pac wire connector. And lastly before you take the factory CAD off drive the pass front wheel onto a block...this will keep the axle fluid in the pumpkin

It's a push pull and a turn because they literally just poached an airplane throttle for this. I'm not happy with the design.

Excellent job thanks

Hey what problems were you having with your posilock? Mine is struggling to engage and when it does, it keeps popping out of 4x4.

Thank you for making video, I am planning to get a cable actuator. You may want to change your gear oil.

Great job of explaining each step. Very good filming and lighting while working one handed. How did you test to confirm you achieved 4wd lockup?

@GBProductions0

Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much! The only testing I did was a bit of driving in 4-low. Up until recently I thought it was fully locking up in 4-low but a couple weeks ago I tried to pull one of my other trucks out and I had only two wheels spinning on opposite corners. So I'm thinking there is something wrong with the differential itself. The rear is also supposed to be limited slip but it doesn't work either. Classic Dodge problems. Thanks, Greg

Great video. What did you do with the stock vacuum lines though? Did you plug them to maintain vacuum, and did you leave the stock connector on there?

@GBProductions0

Thank you! My truck had no vacuum to the climate control when I got it, so there was no effect from having the vacuum lines to the axle disconnected. The brake booster vacuum was a separate line. So I ended up taking the single feed line that went to the transfer case and connecting that to my climate control so it would function properly. But in your case, I would just plug the single feed line that goes to the transfer case, and you could even remove the extra hoses from the transfer case to the axle as they aren't needed anymore. Hope that helps, thanks for the comment! Greg

I installed dynatrac locking hubs in my dodge 2500 could I leave fork engaged all the time since I can disengage my hubs?and just unhook the vacuum lines?

Hey there, thanks for the comment! Yes I would think that would be perfectly fine! As long as the left wheel is not directly connected to the right wheel you won't have any extra drag or resistance. The only thing to consider is that over time the fork may walk back and cause the axle to become disengaged without vacuum to hold it in place. If you could come up with something to hold the fork in place that would work fine! Thanks! Greg

@@GBProductions0 thanks for replying and you can remove c-clip on drier side of fork then slide fork over and reinstall c-clip on backside to hold it I just wasn’t sure about my axle being solid but to me it’s the same as my old 74 Chevy 4x4

I installed the cable adapter and everything, but I’m getting a rattle and metal spinning noise from the CAD area almost like the connector is barely touching the spinning axle, but then I don’t know why the driver’s side axle would even be spinning if it wasn’t engaged at the transfer case.

Hmm, maybe check the adjustment on the cable and make sure the travel is enough to fully engage the collar. If the truck is in the air and there's no load on it, the driver's side axle may very well spin anyway. Was the CAD functioning properly prior to the swap to cable control? I have heard of the teeth inside the sleeve shearing off as well in extreme cases. Might be worth a look into that. Let us know how you make out. Greg

Just to be clear, this mod is NOT a locker and does not “lock” the two axles, it merely makes the dif positive track, right?

@GBProductions0

That is correct. There is no change in functionality from the factory setup, other than the fact that it will actually work as intended from the factory as there is no delay or failure possibility due to the vacuum actuator that was replaced by the cable. It does lock the two halves of the passenger side axle shaft together, but that's it. Thanks.

Ever since I've put this in I've had grinding from the front end.... I'm so beyond stumped. I'm not happy with the product. They literally just slapped an airplane throttle on a housing. At least their customer service was willing to help, even if they didn't know what they were doing either. I've messed with this cad in some form or another 6x now.... I'm at my wits end.

Hmm, that's not so good. I'm not sure what could be causing that. Only think I can think if it's like my truck is if the collar sleeve that joins the front axle shafts together doesn't fully disengage then you could get some grinding noise with the sleeve chattering around the opposing axle shaft.
