I have a '99 D2, and found the nipple for the CDL this afternoon.


I'm definitly going to find a DI or late model to get the actual linkage off, but I'm going on a trip to SW Colorado soon and won't have time before that.

So, for manual use, I want to make sure I've understand this correctly:

1. to lock my CDL, have the motor running, in neutral, and turn clockwise with a 10 mm open wrench about 20 degrees.

2. to unlock the CDL, have the engine running, in neutral, and turn counter-clockwise about 20 degrees.

3. I will lose all traction control if I turn the motor off with CDL engaged, and turn the motor back on again, so I must disengage before turing offthe motor.

4. What do I do if I forget and turn the motor off before unlocking it and lose traction control.

 

You don't have to do it with the engine running.
Enjoy our great State.
Cal Paul Grant for a good D1 shifter along with a D1 hi/low shift plate for easier installation.

 

If you turn the vehicle off and lose T/C, simply unlock the CDL with the vehicle on. Sometimes the light doesn't go away immediately, when it goes off after turning the wheels and moving a couple feet, turn the vehicle off, and back on. You can then lock the CDL again.
