Nope, haven't tried that yet. No one else has mentioned that

Next time I'm picking away at it I'll look though thank you.

Absolutely. Did great once the actuator finally decided to kick in and engage the front end lol. Only took a minute or so but was long enough to make me nervous. First trip was down rt2 from Leominster to home (normally about a half hour) in the middle of the storm Sunday night.
It's not quite as goods the jeep but I think that's all in the tires. The trucks are far less aggressive than the mt/r's on the jeep

Still did very well though.

Either that or just one of the posi-lock cables and do away with the actuator entirely. We'll see when the time comes. For now, its still working. Just takes a minute

I really can't argue that lol. I recently came to the realization that I'm like a women is with shoes when it comes to cars. When I get bored or stressed out I go car shopping and instantly all is right with the world

I did however offer to sell them all, buy a new Camaro, and be done with it. She likes at least half the fleet too much to let me do that though
