I'll check and make sure, but it is a possibility it's not...

well I think I've found the solution! After dinner I'm going to order the posilok cable system. I have it now where there is a little vacuum going to the actuator on the front end, but I guess its not enough. So i'll order the posilok and hope its here by the weekend...

well I got the posilok installed and it seems to work just like it's supposed to! It was very easy to install and at this point I would recommend it to anyone that is having issues with anything to do with the vacuum and their 4wd...

pics or it didn't happen. we want pic's of everything. cab, hole in firewall, long cable wrapped up all over creation, axle, wires, vent, wheels, tires, tool box, dog, shop, mailbox, deer heads, fish, house, pond.

seriously double strap the damn thing away from the exhaust manifold. i melted all the plastic off mine after a wire tie let go.

by the way, have you tried 2wd low yet. it shifts to 2nd at about 3 mph and 3rd at about 10. its great for poking along a dirt road at about 3 mph.

I truly was thinking about pics,but my pics and description would have been exactly like Dhvaughn's so I chose not too. I do have to go back out tthis morning, so maybe I can get at least a pic of the finished version. The biggest pain for me was laying underneath on the creeper and getting that first Eclip in.
As far as 2lo goes, naturally I had to try it however today I will be backing my trailer up a gravel hill into a fairly tight space so I'm sure I will really appreciate it at that time!

You did remember to cap off the vacuum supply tube to the TC switch right?
