I have a 2001 1500 4x4 and one of the hard plastic vacuum lines from the transfer case to the steel line is broken. I have temporarily fixed it with vacuum hose. Does anyone know where to buy the hard plastic vacuum line? I have searched the internet and found only the steel lines.

 

Your rubber repair line is actually more durable than the plastic line that broke. If it works, don't fix it.

Welcome to DF.

 

Ya and those hard plastic lines are expensive, theyre like 10 bucks for 4 feet

 

If you really want those hard plastic lines, the dealer's got 'em. I don't know what they retail for, but a year ago when I bought mine the jobber price was just shy of fifty bucks.

 

ditch the vacum System, if you have acess to a welder you can make your own posi-lock

 

Good luck driving it on the street.

 

lol naw man you can make one that locks and unlocks, next time i go to my dads im gonna turn mine into one

 

please explain more. lol i kinda wanna know how you can manage that one with a welder

 

you need a welder and a hacksaw/cutoff wheel/sawzall
1. you disasembel the CAD assembly.
2. cut off the vaccum acctuator
3. weld a long enough thick enough rod to the actuator arm(the part the fork goes on)
4. weld a handle on the end of the arm that is outside the assembly
5. reassemble CAD
6. drill a hole for a retaing pin, small bolt, etc. in the locked and unlocked positions
7. reinstall CAD assembly on the axle

 

Yes, please let us know how that works out.
