Installed a new Lucas diff lock switch. Everything is now working. Activate diff lock, 3 chimes and the diff lock light is on!!!

Nice work! Was going to install mine this month but looks like a head gasket job is up first. Thanks for the post!

Thanks Dave, and your welcome. Good luck with the head gasket.

Went to the Bulldog Canyon OHV area today, to test the new transfer case. It worked well. CDL locked, first low, there was only one spot that I has some wheel spin, and the traction control took over. It was a moderate hill climb with loose dirt and slick rock steps. I made it up. The trail was not a real hard one, just some rough spots, but it's close to my house. I'm happy with the performance.

Nice. You even got the sticker...

I did the DI shifter in my old DII a few years back. Well worth it and it was pretty easy.

The sticker is available from Rovers North, part number RNI565.

Hello everyone,
I know this is the older thread but I have a 03 disco and want to do a CDL but am pretty lost at what I need to do. I want to do the most cost effective option so if someone could please point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Find a 99-01.5 T-case, swap the case or just front output. Cheapest would be to just go under the truck every time you need it to lock it, but it's best to find a way you get the control inside the cabin. You can grab a D1 linkage for anywhere between 100-$200.
