that wasnt a concern. it had mud terrains, no carpeting or foam padding and a roof rack with 6 lights and chicken coop flooring and steel PSP hanging off the side.. road noise was coming from every direction.

Haha ya. If mine was a dedicated trail rig it wouldn't bother me either, but at the moment it's a DD for me.

Hahaha, great response. I hear you loud and clear, my situation is the same. I did in fact hear MUCH more noise after the CDL linkage install. I'm also hearing a LOT of drivetrain slap upon accel and letting off the gas. Will get under there and check it out...

I got under the truck a little while ago and gave that ol 10mm "open end" a turn on the t.case. it worked awesome however it took awhile for my tc and abs lights to go off after I unlocked it. I made sure that my tc was working but it feels like its still locked in. If the tc and abs lights are now off on the dash can the cdl still be locked? I made sure the nipple was turned back to unlock it something just doesn't feel right...whoops!

Sometimes the linkage inside the t-case is stiff due to lack of use. Try going lock and unlock a few times to make sure! Should be good though.

I went back under there and made sure again and its definitely off. So I found the closest hill side and checked the tc, works like it should. It makes sense the t case would be stiff after the first time it had been locked in.
