If you read my first post you will see my transfer case has a "Mark's Part Time 4WD Conversion" I can assure you the front shaft is stationary. Anyway unrelated to running CDL in a stock transfer on a highway. https://www.marks4wd.com/mfk1210-80hd-1.html

SJ. Anyone advising it's acceptable to engage the CDL on anything more than a slippery surface clearly has no understanding of the consequences to those actions. There are HUGE mechanical stresses on the transfer & drive-train if there is traction & no differential, its a real good way to shag...

I have a marks 2wd conversion and since day 1 (due to paranoia of the switch being pressed at 100kmh) have been removing the dash fuse, for the diff lock, when using the vehicle normally. Only when im on holidays etc using 4wd do I first lock in the hubs and push the fuse back in. Works for me

Yes, It is done without too much of a problem. It takes around 1~2 hours if you are familiar with pulling off the dash fascia. You would not know it if the "rewinder" was careful with his fingerprints on the flat black speedo backgrounds and took their time with some small screwdrivers making...

Hi Guys I am at my whits end here trying to figure this out. Have searched numerous threads with no word of this. Trying to keep this short. Sounds like cam chain is going off its head slapping around at idle and up to around 1000~1100rpm. This ONLY happens when the vehicle is at full running...

Hi Guys Not sure if you have seen these. I have used them when sleeping in the back ant they are great because you can still wind the windows up and down according to the temp. You can buy them on eBay from over here. Window SOX - Rear Vehicle Window Protection, Shade and Insect Protection for...
