Im new to this forum, i just bought a 98 1500 and im having some problems with the four wheel drive, when i put the front end in gear and then take it out it still acts like is in gear, the light will go out and it will still sound and turn like it is in gear but the transfer case is not in gear, is this the vacuum system that locks the front axle? i have no clue how that system works.... can somebody help me?
I have that same problem too. It'll take a city block before it fully disengages. Check out the link below

mine just needed a good cleaning.. i tore into it today, i think something was making the actuator stick when its trying to disengage, if it keeps acting up ill just replace it with one of those posi locks

I'm wondering if Alloy USA buys the kits from 4x4 Posi-Lok or they both get them from the same manufacturer and just rebrands it.
In any event, if you plan on going the manual route don't shy away from the Alloy USA one. I paid $124.00 with free shipping!

the manual cad from posilok/alloy is the best mod i've done. just being able to shift it and feel that it did what you wanted is very satisfying. much better than sitting there rocking it back and forth waiting for the light to come on to indicate that it engaged.
