Diff Lock operation in a 300GE?

[mk216v]

Fer cryin' out loud...just talked to my local guy...he's got the three switches on the dash.

Use should be just as straightforward then....presuming the mechanical bits aren't stuck from lack of use????

Just a friendly FYI...

Three locker switches up on the dash are on the W463 ('90+) chassis. Full time 4WD per Harald's site.

Two locker "pulls" near the shifter are on the W460 ('79-89) chassis. Part time 4WD per Harald's site.

Dave,

this forum is great but it does not have many participating G owners - therefore the knowledge pool is not very deep. Check the P3 forum for all your locker questions:

For some reason all newer factory lockers (and even the ARB air lockers) have to be engaged in the order of rear first then front (in case of the 463 series G: center, rear, front).
With advanced 4x4 driving skill the need for independent locker engagement will come up. Easy to do on an ARB, a bit more involved on the Jeep Rubicon and you need electronics knowledge to modify the switch box on the 463. I have had mine modified by a P3 board member to allow me to switch my lockers at any order.

Feel free to contact me directly for more insight:

Harald,

This isn't the case on the W460, correct? You can lock the front first or rear first?(mine are currently inop due to lack of use so I haven't been able to try)

the 460 series lockers can be independently engaged - thank God!

Thx Harald.
I'll include it in my prayers tonight.
