Just finished doing this currently on my wife’s LX. I have never been able to get cdl or 4lo to engage in the 5-6 years I’ve owned it. Never really cared but now that it has been paid off for a couple years and has 285s on it. I’m ready to...
I tackled this job today and figured I'd add pictures of my actuator for more data points.
First off, thanks Teckis and others for documenting this. Especially @isthatalexus for his post way back in 2022 outlining the clocking procedure...
following up on this thread. How are you guys liking the Racks? Besides the hardware not being as sleek as others, Its hard to beat that price point! I may order one and just get different hardware for its to be more subtle.
You didn't really say what your usage would be. But the TKM rack is certainly on the light duty side. @mmm635 If heavy load/use, I'd be concerned about denting the roof.
I just did my 94, cut to fit off the longest rubber. OEM is the way to go. I also got new hardware too, nothing better than tight fitting flares with new gaskets and hardware! I'm a with flares sort of guy.
I'm going through this on my 08 sequoia. Initially I had 4 hi and center diff lock blinking even when dial was in 2wd. A faulty 4hi motor was swapped out. Once I got the new motor / part in on top. The center diff lock was gone. But 4hi was...
I'm kind of surprised people are still trying to clock these things by hand by lining up random parts.
By far the easiest way I found was:
1. Check that the contact rings are actually the same between original and new part - if they aren't -...
Understanding that in these repairs I stand on the shoulders of giants (@TeCKis300 and others)...
I suspect that my biggest issues were the actuator's poor/inconsistent contact at the microswitch (might be submicroswitch), and possibly the...
I can't believe this worked....2008 Sequoia Limited - 143k miles
Caveat being that 4Hi now works but 4Lo beeps and flashes at me..I think it's the gear timing. I'll tackle that later.
Here's what I did-
Remove the rock guards from the actuator...
