cdl

Hello mud, New poster here making my first post. Recent owner of a new to me 80 series. Coming from a 23 bronco to an 80. I live in the northeast where most of my offeoading involves mud. For this reason I am hesitant to go through some of the thick goop we have here without the CDL engaged...

Hey all, I know this has been beat to death but I have a unique aspect to mine that has me scratching my head. I only got my recently purchased 1994 w/ abs running before Thanksgiving. I bought it non-running for 3.5k. Turns out the PO had installed the distributor wrong as it was off by...

Hi, just picked up my HDJ81 that I've imported and, while pushing through all of the many buttons, I've noticed the CDL button doesn't appear to be doing anything. Nothing happens when pushing the button, but the CDL light comes on when switching to low, and won't turn off when pressing the...

Hello ! Member of this forum since 2012 and I have never posted anything :) My 1992 FJ80 with 283K on it recently broke something in the front driveline. I removed and checked (replaced with brand new OEM part) the outer drive flanges, and that did not solve the problem. I believe that it has...

My CDL actuator is fried. Does anyone know someone who can rebuild these windings? OR... Does anyone happen to have this actuator?

In stock form my 1993 had the dash-CDL button added, and the 7 pin mod. When I got my Aqualu tub swapped truck back from Redline, the center diff was permalocked and they said it was a bad actuator or something mechanical. They discovered it right as my transport was scheduled so it came back...

I have a 2003 Prado, 1KZ-TE with a 5-speed manual transmission. The motor is gutless below 1800 RPM which causes problems when trying to start up a steep incline on asphalt in 1st gear without excessive clutch slippage. So the solution is to shift the transfer case into low but that also...

I apologize if this has been beat to death, but I've searched until my eyes are crossed trying to figure out if the CDL light (97 LX450) is supposed to turn off when going from D to N to R or P. My new to me LX has always locked the center diff, but never lit the ABS or CDL lights when I did...

Part number 36410-60050 CDL actuator for 80 series. I bought this a couple years ago (I think I paid $600 plus shipping) but was able to get the old actuator to work. I didn't return it at the time because they're difficult to find and I wasn't sure the old actuator wouldn't fail soon after...

Looking for a good used FZJ80/LX450 CDL

Hey Troops, hoping someone can give me some suggestions. Had to leave my truck in a nearby parking lot after taking our dogs to run on powerline roads. I decided I would exercise the transfer case and shifted into 4L, no problem. Light came on, all good. Decided to to exercise CDL. Shifted to...

I'm about to swap actuators from one transfer case to another. Any tricks for removal (like it needs to be in the locked position or anything)? And what does this FSM instruction mean in practical terms?

The more research I do, the more it sounds like the Lx570 might be capable enough for my needs without me having to have the CDL repaired now...at least Help me understand though. The Torsen LSD is on the center diff or the rear diff? (2008 lx570). If on the center diff, does that mean it...

I am at Windrock Park and was speeding around on easy parts of G1, then the Check Engine and Check VSC notifications came on. I was in 4 hi and no CDL engaged, but I couldn’t engage 4 lo. I googled once I had service and it seemed it might be a gas cap issue. I took the gas cap off, put it back...

I have a 99 uz100 LandCruiser that has an issue where the CDL button on the dash is not responding with no light on dash either when being pressed while in H. So I shifted to L to test which worked fine as usual and CDL light appeared. Then I shifted it back to H with CDL button pressed in and...

Hello ! My jdm import arrived with the cdl engaged. Some people have been playing with the switch i guess during transit to my homeplace in Canada. The CDL actuator looks absolutely brand new and must've been replaced near end of the Japanese ownership but the rotor is burnt out ! My guess is...

Editing this thread so my stupidity doesn't confuse someone else who stumbles upon this in the future. 1996 Lx450, 152k miles, NO front or rear lockers. CDL Dash Switch, Pin-7 Mod. 4WD High and Low work fine, but the CDL hasn't locked since the day I bought it. When shifting into 4WD Low, or...

Gday you brilliant minds, just out here with another issue with the Ol 97’ FZJ80. Found out the other week while on a track that my CDL won’t engage when put in low (I don’t have CDL button) I’ve replaced the switch on the front of the transfer case as I found this damaged and tested it, the...

noobie post here, first thread. I got my 05 gx470 (no kdss) about a month ago and I just tried to engage the cdl and it doesn’t stop blinking…kinda is worrying me. If anyone knows what may cause the cdl light to keep flashing and not engaging it would be greatly appreciated. I haven’t found...

1995 FZJ80 Sorry if this has been posted or talked about before, but no matter how much I have searched, I can't find anything about it. We bought this 80 series at our shop, and after inspecting everything, we found out that the previous owner had removed the CDL and ABS bulbs out of the...
