i went to shift into 4wd the other day in the snow and it wouldnt engage the front axle. the t case would lock and everything but the front wheels wouldnt. so i took apart the little cad thing in the front and the shift fork just slides right over the collar inside the axle and wont shift it....shift fork thing worn out? looking at getting the cable posi lock thing. anyone have this problem and the solution i want?

 

posilok is the best answer, but the fork is supposed to be in the groove of the collar. the fork might be mis-aligned.

in a posilok installation you have to reuse the fork, fork-pads, and collar.

 

my brother installed the posi lock but his fork was cracked and mising pieces, a quick look online and he found one out of a 2500, steel vs cast iron

 

I'll be looking into that when I get back home. I cant get mine to engage into 4x4

 

yeah my shift fork is worn out i took it apart and put it back in the groove, pulled 4wd and it popped right over the collar. so im going to order that new posi lock thing, with a new shift fork

 

Your problem has nothing to do with the vacuum obviously. make sure you get the shoes for the shift fork also.

 

yeah at first i thought the vacuum wasnt working correctly until i took it apart, i think the new shift fork comes with the shoes
