Thread: Puma centre diff

Do a search on forum seem to recall they can get some swarf build up from manufacture. Clean it out all good.

It's just a linkage adjustment issue, simple fix, if your still in warrantee get the dealer to sort it..thinks there is a link on here about it..?

My dual cab (MY2013) was the same. Drove me nuts. Second service complained and the dealer had linkage adjusted. Made it a little better but still unlocked itself way too often.

Have kept using it and by the time 3rd service was due it's working now much better. Like it has to wear in, something like that.

if anyone has a link to more information would love to see it. Have struggled with this for a few years now and out of warranty it continues. Dealer is being good about it but feel like I am not getting any closer to a solution.

Have had the same problem with mine too. Have had it looked at through warranty, and I think it'll still be a problem.
Mine seems to Not lock in, which means there's something wrong with the "Detent" side of things. Dealer tells me it all cable operated which is fine, but surely it must have some kind of detent lock

I have asked the question before myself, was informed of a mechanic somewhere in Melb who can fix this properly, but I'm afraid I can't find the info.

I had the same issue. Went back to dealer until they fixed it properly. It was a simple adjustment but took them three attempts.

I've got the same issue.. and I suspect that whatever causes the diff lock to drop out also is what causes my lever to drop to neutral (in between high and low range) when on steep inclines. (and it's not fun let me tell you). My dealer thinks I am imagining it. Maybe if I die on the next hill they'll listen..

yeah mine is the same with cdl. seems to drop out when you need it most.
