Stuck in LOCK - 5/8/2008 2:48:01 PM    ibinazbass   Posts: 1 Joined: 5/6/2008 Status: offline Hi there! This my first post here and am in need of your help. When I shift the tcase, on my 2000, into High or Low lock everything works perfectly. The problem comes when shifting back into 4AUTO. Once I shift it back into full time 4 the locker/limited slip, whatever it is in the rear axle does, not dissengage. It just stays locked up. To get it done, I went around a curp with the front tire and just hit the back on it. It seemed to work, and I haven't switched it into LOCK again since then. Why is it staying locked/what can i do about it? Post #: 1

It is the axel bind.......LOL Basic front to rear axel bind. Here is a link to a section I did on this very issue. It is not the same T-case but the same principal applies. Transfer Case Update!

Not exactly smarty pants! quote: its not in your rear. lol. its in the t-case This is not true. It is in the rear and in the front drivelines. This causes the bind. Not the case! Yes you told him to back up but you didn't address "why the problem occurs" and "how to fix it". You make it sound like it is a bad T-case. This is purely not the problem. Just reversing will not disengage the bind. The diff's need to un-wined the driveline. To do this simply turn the wheels one way and then the other way in reverse and after unlocking the T-case. This is what will un-wind the drivelines and un-wined the axel bind thus alowing the T-case to disengage. _____________________________ 1998 Durango, 5.9L Built Motor Bored 20 Over P&P Heads, K&N Ram Air CAI MSD Ignition, 52MM Fastman TB, Built T-Case Custom Built Trans, Air Bags Magna Flow 3" Cat Back Exhaust Too Much To List!
