Well my actuator went bad on my 95 1 ton,,,so no 4x4,,,well looked at it and seen rod was bent a little ,,,so got new one put it on and was happy, well it snowed bad here in nnorthern nebraska and went to use 4x4 and light came on then a faint poppin noise and no light andf no 4x4,,,well took it apart and rod bent on this one too,,,checked collar that slides back and forth for 4x4 and it is smooth ,,so am wonderin about how much play is allowed with the fork and shaft on actuator,,i had to do something so i ordered a posilok plus a new fork,,,havent got it yet but pray it works,,,its not cheap,,but nwayz how much play is ok on the fork and shaft?????

 

I am dealing with the same issue except my CAD system developed a leak and chewed up my splines.... I tried the pos-lok earlier and was not that impressed as when it is cold or at highway speeds very difficult to lok in. Just my two cents I do have one for sale with only two days use of it.. Now in the process of replacing shafts or going to Dynatrac freespin hubs

 

Dyna trac is over priced imo. With the you are paying for that sticker.

 

EMS is cheaper for the same thing IIRC.

 

thanks for the replies,,,wish i had known you had one for sale sooner,,,jus got the posilok and am gonna try it,,,got a new fork too. wish me luk

 

Yeah, thanks for refering me to EMS but they are 8 weeks out and I am not sur I can live without my 4wheel drive up here in Michigan...Has anybody tried pinning or welding the coller over onto the intermediate shaft to get by??? Trying something this weekend will give updates..

 

You can weld the collar fast.
