4x4 hubs not locking in?
4x4 hubs not locking in?
so last night me an a buddy of mine, went out to go shoot a hog, and well there was none out there, so when i went to turn around, my rear tires got in some soupy ***t and started spinnin, i put it in neutral, put my tcase in 4hi, put it in 1st, then tried to go, and nothing, front driveshaft was spinning, but hubs werent locking in. it worked perfectly before i put the leveling kit on.
heres some pics as well. well after wards, i took them this morning, my friends cousin has the rest of when i was stuck on her camera
any ideas, on where to start?

if the 4x4 isn't working but the drive shaft is spinning then you need to blame your cad unit. more than likely you lost vacuum. check for a loose or leaking vac line on the cad unit or somewhere else under the truck. the lines run from the cad to the transmission mount and to the top of the transfer case, then to the engine.
also you don't need to put the truck in neutral to shift into 4hi. all you need to do is take your foot off the gas and pull the shifter into gear, that is as long as you are not going more than 55mph. thats why the transfer case is called shift on the fly.

oh, well i was stopped anyways. lol. im used to the old way, with the manual hubs. god do i miss those soemtimes.
i dont think its the switch, i think i pulled a vacuum line loose when i installed my leveling kit, to get it in, we had to jack up one side of the axle, then do the same to the other side, and it was just kinda hangin there,i didnt think anything of it though, but now ive learned.
how did you make yours?

Probably with a lot of ingenuity, time getting parts, labor and pretty crude 
. Not worth it on our Rams. Just get the Posi-lok and do yourself a favor. It's enough of a PITA to install. LOL
