CAD on front axle
Okay, so the Dodge is back on duty again (kinda, gotta fix my accelerator cable permanently before it hits the highway)! More power than ever... Many of my problems were caused by a faulty ignition module... Any rate, not what this post was about...
My engine doesn't generate enough vacuum to move the CAD. I'm planning to do a DIY PosiLok kit, but until then I've heard you can permanently lock the CAD in the engaged position. Any pics of doing this?

Don't get enough vacuum? Think I would try and figure out just why that is. Might be as simple as a leak somewhere....
Other than that... you can pull the cad cover off, pull the e-clips that hold the fork in place, slide the ford into the engaged position, and reinstall the e-clips to hold it there. Slide the collar over so the axles are locked together, reinstall cad cover, making sure fork will hold the collar in place. Don't bother hooking up the vacuum lines, just plug 'em off.
