ParadiseMJ Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 When I swapped in the AW4 I had to get a matching spline transfer case. So, from Renix to HO, no more CAD. But I have the thing on the road and I have not yet done the CAD delete, locked over. Everything else is hooked up...what can I say, I've procrastinated. So if I engage the transfer case with the lever, and the axle is not locked over and has no vacuum, do I then have 3 wheel drive, or is the whole axle just free spinning?? Also, I thought I saved the lock over directions, I know it's pretty simple. Can one of you fine folks link me to a good CAD delete write-up? Simple yes, I just want to look at it again.

87Warrior Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 1. Place oil pan under CAD actuator housing on axle. 2. Remove CAD actuator. 3. Slide collar over to lock axle shafts together. 4. Reinstall CAD actuator upside down. 5. Plug vacuum ports on CAD actuator and vacuum lines. 6. Top off you differential oil. 7. Enjoy 4wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 To answer your other question, no, you do not currently have 3wd. That only works if the diff itself is locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mjgilley Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 also you could get a axle shaft out of a non cad axle and remove all the inner guts of the cad the newer one piece aqxle shaft will slide right in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Much easier to just lock the CAD in the engaged position unless you need the strength of the one-piece axle shaft for off-road use with large tires.

Geonovast Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Personally I would go with this one, just so there's no chance it'll unlock on you. http://comancheclub.com/topic/17377-cad-fix-1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
