hell yeah looks like a blast

Hey man, whats the link for the cable? I need one like really bad! I hate the electronic 4x4!

Hey man I followed your example there and I made an actuator based off of the same kind of Ideal principles anyway I get it to actually but I can never get it to lock up so can you tell me what's up with the fuse does your 4 by 4 light still come on does all that stuff still work

Hey what master and slave cylinder did you use also pedal mines not the best

Mine just did this last Tuesday!

What size all thread did you use for the rod inside the housing?

Heat is your friend

Slides right off if you weld a bead all the way around it

Thanks a ton saved me a bunch of time.

After multiple attempts w/oxy-acetlyene torch, spraying penetrating oil for weeks, combined w/a 2-jaw puller, even drilling a 1/4 hole to spray penetrating oil into the pocket where the front end of the torsion bar goes into the lower A-arm, I could not separate the torsion bars from the lower A-arms (2000 F150, which is the same front suspension system as your truck) I finally cut through the torsion bar. I didn't want to destroy it, but I was more intent on saving the lower A-arms because I'm going to rebuild my whole front axle, and just replace lower A-arm bushings rather than buying new ones. All this was on a parts truck which is donating all the major components to rebuild my daily driver. Once I separate the lower A-arm from the front axle I'll use a hydraulic shop press to press out the portion I couldn't remove, then weld the oil access hole I drilled. I hope I have better luck when I disassemble my daily driver to put in all the rebuilt components.

Was the trans hard to swap into it

So how many times did that last going in and out lol

How long can you drive it like that?

Thanks for you video I will do that way to fix my truck hopefully I will do right!.. Jaime from Houston, Texas

Thank you very helpful

Was this 5 speed swapped or factory

Outstanding! How long did it hold up in regards to the bad bearings going out?

Same thing happen to me. I'm told that you have to take it to a machine shop to get it pressed on. Maybe that's why it's coming off for the ppl that are having trouble with it.

Outstanding!

So you went through all this because you didn’t have the money or didn’t want to spend the money (?). Either way, I give you my thoughts. First, congratulations on thinking out of the box and putting your brain to work coming up with the idea. I like that you have the ability to invent ways to improvise. That in itself is worth quite a bit. On the other hand, its kinda band aid and bailing wire quality, something a kid would do to his Go-Cart. I’ve seen this contraption work throughout my years on cars, bikes and motorhomes. I really don’t approve of drilling dashes, running cables through grommets like that nor wires hanging out of their respective looms. Kind of messy. Over time you may come to see my point but by then your quality of workmanship may improve. Once you experience true machine shop, automotive, robotics and electrical engineering you will hopefully see my side a bit.

I have an easier way but you have to remove it and put it in every time you want 4 wheel engaged

Thanks for the video. I used your method and it worked well. Removing the jackstands and lowering the truck to make the torsion keys break after they were cut worked great. I grinded and drilled the torsion keys... drilling seemed to work better. It was kind of hard to get the grinder in between the crossmember. Thanks for giving us a heads up about not having anything underneath the truck when dropping the it after the keys were cut into

Looks like more stuff to Get RIPPED OFF And Easy way to get Water in the axle... Good luck

Why don’t you just go buy a used actuator at a junkyard For five dollars

failed prematurely cuz you are missing the forward and aft dust covers that mate to the rubber lips just outside the bearing circumference

I've had mine come off 3 time why does it do that

thanks i trying to figure out separate that part to get the carrier bearing off.

very informative video straight to the point , how a good vid should be good job man!

What's that thing one the hub mind don't have that don't know if I have the same truck

Probably the best video of this job no BS. 🏆🍻

Is it the same for a z71? Of the same year

your a true caveman, you my friend will lead the way !!

glad i could help!

Thanks for this video bro, really helped a lot. Told the mechanic it need to be replaced but they said it was fine and it went out about a month later.....

Hey nice job! How is the fan shroud working now? Have you changed anything? Is the lower radiator hose in the way and did you just get a longer one? Thanks I’m thinking of doing the same thing with my shroud.

It's going to blow up

The magnets inside of the rear end is for catching all the metal shavings.

I'm doing it

If that actuator goes bad does it make the 4x4 light indicator to not show

I got the same problem on my Jeep buddy, very helpful video thanks buddy

So when you let the truck down to break the tortion key after you cut into them, the torion bar unlocked from the lower control arm?

Nice

To remove the rear axles you do not need to drop the entire rear end you did not show me anything.

oh damn man very smart how to build one for 2004 chevy suburban

Just heat them up...simple

Wow good idea i just bought a new actuator wish i seen this vid b4 i purchased my new one. Great idea smart thinking

Giving good advice man use a boat cable a short boat cable cuz push and pull

😂😂😂

Good work. Any issues since installing? Planning to install something similar on my 94.
