Have someone sit in the truck and have them wotk the lever side to side. Look at the linkage move with the mirror (unless you can see it otherwise). If nothing is moving it may be froze up. Use PB Blaster and soak it twice a day for a week. If it is moving, make sure it is moving all the way towards the passinger door. Grab the lever at the t-case and pull to make sure it is locked in. If it is then you have problems. Check to see if the front drive shaft is turning. Make sure your 4wd light is working, it may be just burnt out.   DARRELL (Puppywhopper) New Member Username: Puppywhopper Post Number: 3 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, June 15, 2003 - 02:52 pm:    i pried on the differential assembly arm to see if it would move further...it didnt..the front driveshaft works drove it with the trans tunnel open watch things operate i cant reach the differential fork housing to see if the shift fork is broken   Peter J Blatt (Peteb) Member Username: Peteb Post Number: 167 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, June 15, 2003 - 09:03 pm:    When you are not moving, being stationary, you may not ect ect, sorry, hope you get what i'm saying!   Raf usher (Zonamaya) Member Username: Zonamaya Post Number: 106 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2003 - 10:40 am:    i dont think mine is working either. it goes between hi and lo just fine.. butwhen trying to lock it.. i cant get it dop budge left or right..only front and back. do i really need the CDL to lock? tell me about this thing.   Jaime Crusellas (Jaime) New Member Username: Jaime Post Number: 6 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2003 - 11:53 pm:    I rescued a Ford f150 4x4 pickup buried to the frame rails in mud.

There is a limit switch on top of the transfer case with 2 wires going into it. Unscrew it a half turn or so. It was in too far, preventing the lock from engaging.   Raf usher (Zonamaya) Member Username: Zonamaya Post Number: 114 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 12:26 pm:    well.. my cdl works fine now! i found it WAY WAY easier to just slide under the truck and spray it with regular old rust buster spray, and a few moments later.. with a few taps from a rubber hammer, i got movement. and a little bit of working, it got easier. as for the o2 sensrs.. well, i got mine from car parts.com. ..the bad thing is that it will take up to 4weeks for me to get them! the cost $38.. has anyone heard of standard manufacturing? they are the ones who make the cheap o2 sensors. so if anyone can locate them, let me know. i would like to cut out the middle man, and deal dirctly with the factory! (jc whittney claims they dont have info on standard manuf. BULLLonie) so- lets track them down ourselves!   DARRELL (Puppywhopper) New Member Username: Puppywhopper Post Number: 5 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 06:35 pm:    i jacked up the front with the diff locked and the front didnt spin...i unlocked the front and the tire spun..soo im assuming it works and the light dont...can i use the existing wires and rig my own light?...now im afraid i'll tear it up without a light....also 14x3\4 inch sheet metal screws fit perfect in place of rivets
