In the discovery section there is a picture of the range selector for the four wheel drive system. Mine is frozen, as far as left to right movement not high/low range. My concern is that my selector seems to be more centered than the selector in the pic (i.e., it looks to be farther to the left than the photo). Is the selector supposed to seem over to the right hand side when not in the diff lock position? Mine is only slightly to the right. I bought the truck used, and fear that the center diff has been in the lock position, and is shot. I have put about 10k on it, and I am sure that the diff is not locked (or atleast operational) currently....any help would be greatly appreciated...

I would think that if you were driving for 10K with the diff lock engaged you would notice peculiar sounds coming from the transfer case at some point and weird things would happen when you took corners on the road.
If you want info on how to unstick your diff, or see some picutres on how you can engage/disengage the diff lock without using the lever follow this link.

You might also find other info in the archives as this topic comes up fairly often.

Vince, It's very common to get a used Disco with the CDL frozen. This is what happens from years of no use. Generally it's an easy fix. If I were to buy one I might even use it to my advantage to get the price down but in most cases it's not a problem. |
