When I was introduced to some literature about this product, I was a little skeptical about it being so much better than factory. So I decided to call and ask for a unit to test and review for Off-Road.Com. They were more than happy to send me one, and in fact, the all around easy going atmosphere of his company was great, and I have found them a pleasure to work with! When the kit arrived I was immediately impressed with the quality of the parts and workmanship. Every piece of the kit is of the HIGHEST quality. It took approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to install. I installed the kit alone.
INSTALLATION: To install the kit, you need to begin by draining the oil from the front differential to check for metal particles in the oil (If there are particles in the oil, its time to rebuild the front end, installing the Posi-Lok could help prevent this in the future). Once done remove the actuator, and install the Posi-Lok Components. In the cab, simply drill 1 hole where the cable will pass thru, using the provided rubber grommet to keep the line from freying. Route the cable out the through the firewall and past the mastercylinder. Use the provided cable tie to tie the line to the mastercylinder. From there attatch the line to the kit harness and adjust the cable length. Your done!! It's that simple. (Be sure to refill the front diff. with fluid and road test!)
HOW IT WORKS: The first time I shifted the truck into FourWheelDrive I couldn't get the front axle to engage. I drove about 30-40 feet and tried again, and it went right in. I do not know what caused that the first time, but I have not been able to repeat it. I have shifted the kit at least 20-30 times without any problem. Positive, 100% lock everytime.
WHAT TO DO & BENEFITS:
To shift it, you need to pull the T-Case lever for FourWheel
Drive (or press the 4HI button if you have the electronically
controlled case), and the pull and lock the Posi-Lok. Now you can
shift the 4x4 lever between 2 and 4 wheel drive at any speed. There
is one real plus I like about this kit. You can shift 4-Lo, and
leave the Posi-Lok Un-Locked. You know have the equivalent of 2-Lo!
This is great for getting that big boat out of the water, or heavy
on pavement pulling!
This kit is something
that almost every late model Chevy truck needs, if you would like
