88whitemanche Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 What's up guys this weekend I went to go offroad with a few guys from another forum and I went into the mud pile and no working 4 wheel drive....I'm going to pull off the cover for the cad system today since I already locked it but to check why wasn't it working.... Any other ideas why it didn't work??
ParadiseMJ Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Did you plug the vac lines on the CAD servo. Is the linkage on the t-case properly adjusted?
88whitemanche Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 The vacuum lines are disconnected from the cad because I did Pete's DIY cad lock
Dadinator Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Having similar issue. I replaced my xfer case as it was an issues anyway. However, my axle is got issues. Someday soon, I will have time to look into it further.
cruiser54 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Were you already shifted in 4wd before you went into the mud?
88whitemanche Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 Yes...I rolled to put the lever into 4h then stopped to put it into 4l then moved forward a bit to make sure it's in 4l....then drive in the mud about 50ft and just the rear wheels spinning and no front wheel spinning...the area wasn't that thick or deep to stop the tires in place...
cruiser54 Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Okay. Gotcha. YOu had 4 low but no power at the front wheels.
88whitemanche Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 Yes my front drive shaft was spinning but the front axle for some reason wasn't engaged....even after doing the cad lock....I'm going to open the cover this weekend if the weather permits to see what's wrong with it... I'm really considering upgrading to the 297 one peice axle shafts
88whitemanche Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 That's what my buddy said but before i open the diff cover I want to make sure that I Open that cad block and make sure it's in full lock...

Stick with your original plan. Spider gears going away are usually accompanied by lots of noise and jerking. Don't get off on any other tangents til you've pulled the CAD cover. You could have a bent fork, broken roll pin or something. Keep us posted.
88whitemanche Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 Will do cruiser... But I was also thinking that I daily drive this truck everyday and haven't heard any clunking it any weird noises driving it...so I'm sure that it's the cad

I'm thinking carnuck is throwing out useless random crap as usual. Your line of thinking is spot-on.
88whitemanche Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 Well fixed my 4wd!!!! Yae!!!!! Now to mud it out! The collar in the cad system slid to far to not connect the 2pce shafts together...slapped another c clip in there and boom no more movement
