Hi folks,
The rear diff on my '85 4kq locks fine using the console switch. However,
when I switch it off, the diff stays locked. The center diff locks/unlocks
normally.
At the rear diff servo itself, I can use a Mityvac to pull a vacuum on the
locking side(terminus of hose #18 on Bentley p34.32) and can lock the diff.
Using the Mityvac to generate pressure, I can force the servo to unlock the
diff.
When I switch to the other(unlocking) side(terminus of hose #17) of the
servo, I can neither generate a vacuum to unlock nor generate a pressure to
force the servo to lock the diff.
Before I go diving into the console/vacuum reservoir, etc.,
--does this indicate a bad servo?
--is further diagnosis necessary?
--anyone have a WORKING rear diff servo available for $$ or trade? I have
lots of 4kq bits/spares to trade.
Thanks. Look forward to your replies.
