Bill's European in Santa Fe did the work. After seeing other peoples ETC fail on the trail this has been a real priotity for me. This was the second truck Bill has done - he is ready to do more.   Al Oliveira (Offroaddisco) Senior Member Username: Offroaddisco Post Number: 1445 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Friday, August 01, 2003 - 06:03 pm:    Very cool Ted! You're the first I've heard to have done it to a '02 D2 and to just replace the housing is very cool. What do you think of your D2 now?   Ted Moyer (Tedmoyer) New Member Username: Tedmoyer Post Number: 4 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Friday, August 01, 2003 - 10:13 pm:    Al, I am totally pysched about it! The short-comings of ETC alone are well documented. The ETC-CDL combo is sweet. The work that Bill did is excellent. Using the Rangie linkage, the transfer case shifts in a T pattern just like a disco 1. Personally I really prefer this to the solenoid CDL available as aftermarket for the earlier Disco II's. I am taking the truck to Moab next month, and can't wait!   Al Oliveira (Offroaddisco) Senior Member Username: Offroaddisco Post Number: 1446 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 07:51 am:    I have the linkage from a D1 myself and I also like it better than a solenoid. Good luck in Moab.
