Use this definitive 4-wheel drive front axle engagement guide to understand, diagnose, and repair those mysterious 4-wheel drive front axle issues. This guide explains how the OEM units function, what causes them to fail, and which corrections are available. WHAT IS 4X4 POSI-LOK? 4×4 Posi-Lok is the patented cable activated engagement device designed to replace the failure prone vacuum and electric front axle engagement systems. 4×4 Posi-Lok is not a posi-trac or locker. 4×4 Posi-Lok is simple and easy to install and allows you to engage your front axle from inside the cab. Posi-Lok guarantees that your 4-wheel drive will engage every time because you are in direct control of front axle engagement. A one inch pull of the 4×4 Posi-Lok cable ensures you will have 4-wheel drive when you need it, as long as the transfer case is engaged.
