87 - 5KCSQT - need connector repair for diff lock switch

[Robert Mangas]

  Kurt, you've obviously put some thought into this :).  Have you had to 
deal with/come up with a solution for a leaky seal where the actuator rod 
exits the solenoid?  One of mine isn't sealed so well; while it moves 
snappily in one direction it's a little sluggish in the other.

Regards,
Robert
