Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys ive just fitted a part time kit from makrs adaptors into my 80 series over the week end i i took it for a drivew it works in two wheel drive fine but when i went top put the centre locker in it is inst working does any one knoe what i could do?? and i am also having a slight grinding noise coming form my 4wd shit leaver. could any one tell me what they think i i have doen wrong

Have you locked the hubs ?

yea mate locked the hubs pressed the centre locker button put it into low range and still wont engage.

Theres not really anything u can do wrong in the t case. sounds to me like one of the hubs may have a problem

Lock both of your hubs in, DO NOT turn on the CDL and see if u can turn the tailshaft. if u cant turn it then the hubs are fine, and u will have to look into the t case.

You fit it yourself? You 100% sure you put everything back in right and all bolts were done up really tight.

yea i put it in my self the cdl light isnt coming up on the dash and everything went back in in the same way they came out i did everythign up to the correct torque using a torque wrench i think it was 27 ftlb.

I would checking all the wiring definitely plugged back in, was 4wd working before you pulled it down?

yea the 4wd was working before i pulled it down

when mine went in it worked for a couple of months than did what you are describing by not goin into 4wd with the light on the dash not coming on than one morning it was on with out me doin anything and now i can't get it back into 2wd it has to do with the wiring or vacum lines or the vacum pump itself a mate of mine always had problems with his and ended up pulling it out and putting it a manual HF1A t case this is the way i'm looking at going as i'm sick of fixing the heap of shit

What did you do up at 27ftlbs? The spool goes on a lot tighter than that.

yep check the wiring is right and has all been connected back up.

72ft-lb to be exact... i wouldnt think they have come undone though, but i would still do them up again. You got all the shims back in where they were?

By the way, the covers are 27ft-lb.

yea i think i will pull it bak down again this weekend and then tighten them up and go from there
thanx for your help

There's a number of plugs on top of the transfer you plugged these back in? One of these goes to cdl switch im pretty sure. When putting the back cover back on after converting mine I noticed I had the plugs caught in the case which also mind you damaged the wires so I had to rewire the plug.
