when shifting the CDL make sure you're either

1. rolling slowly in neutral (preferred)
2. stopped and slightly pressing the gas while in neutral.

 

p.s. do you get any lights or sounds when you put the CDL in neutral?

 

Are you talking about your 2000 or the 04. Besides making this way too difficult, it is a little hard to decide which truck you are asking about.
Do you have your owners manuals, if so read them cover to cover.

 

Arizona smog station messed up my car, they went to do a smog put it on the Dyno machine, chalked the front wheels and messed up my whole drive train, full time 4 wheel drive, These are run by the state of Arizona, opinions?

 

opinion = that's bull****!

they claim no responsibility?

 

Mike,
I do not have an owners manual for my 2004 Discovery and there is nothing about locking differentials in a 2000 manual because it is not offered, and I have read my owners manual for my 2000 and I clearly say in the first post it is my 04. Do not know what is difficult, just asking questions.

 

you will also find it easier to disengage the center diff lock if you move the lever out of diff lock (in neutral) then back up and turn the front wheels, the truck will have to roll about 5 to 15 feet before the light will go off.

What can happen is that if CDL has been engaged and your moving forward even though the lever has been moved to unlock, the coupler can stay connected as the drive line will be loaded , so follow the above advice

 

my truck is WAY easier to get out of diff lock when the truck is rolling in neutral and i push the accelerator. if sitting still (in neutral while accelerating) i have to yank.

going from unlocked to locked is no problem when sitting still.

either way, pushing the accelerator is key in my truck.
