Thread: diff lock not disengaging

Hi all,

I have a 130 crew cab, manual 96 mod but new to me. When coming up to the lights in neutral and rolling slowly it feels like there is wind up in the front diff,
It also happens when going slowly in reverse, and on the gravel the front wheels momentarily lock up.

Has any one experienced this or now any thing about it

thanks in advance

Regards

The best way to check if the diff lock is on is to jack up the wheels and try and turn them
To get it out of diff lock . The first things to try is driving down the road and put your foot down on the load peddle and then take it off quickly and let the engine brake. This usually knocks it out
Or reveres around in a circle this will get it out.
If you have transmisson wind up and this could cause it to stop you getting it out. Jack up two wheels, one on each axel and turn the engine on and spin the wheels in first gear. Its ok the truck won't move anywhere
This should fix the problem. If they don't then play with the stuff under the tunnel. But we will get to that later.
