Simple CDL question.
I just found out that my truck has the CDL nipple on top of the transfer case. I am going to look into installing a cable to be able to lock and unlock it. I haven't been able to find out which direction it should turn to lock (clockwise or counter-clockwise)? Also I have heard that having the CDL locked will turn off the traction control if its not hooked up properly, is this correct?
Thanks guys.

Dusty Are you saying you have to go from CDL to NON-CDL while the truck is running then turn off and then turn back on to clear 3-amigos? I have the amigos after I installed a new (used) tranny and t-case and I moved that thing back and forth 20 times making sure everything worked. Easiest way to explain it is you are lying under vehicle facing the rear and put your arm up ( I believe it's 11mm ? ) with an open end wrench and you go Clockwise to engage and Counter-clockwise to Disengage. You can hear a distinct "clunk" when it goes back and forth. Bottom of wrench facing you is basically at 4 o'clock Cdl dis-engaged and 8 Cdl Engaged

Here is one of the better write-ups on the CDL install along with curing the 3 amigo lights coming on if you engage the cdl with the engine off.

yes. exactly. only if i kill it with cdl engaged. (only really happens in snow or ice....or when the truck behind me has a problem, that i need attend to) normally, i would be disengaged before I am ready to kill it and get out, but if not i have to 1.start 2.disengage cdl 3. kill 4. start
