Thread: Gears locked low Range

I take it you have jacked up one wheel to release wind up in the drive train?
If not try that.
Regards Philip A

Try reversing some distance whilst steering left and right,should work.

G'day All, How far was it driven in low range with diff lock engaged on a hard surface, that will cause some damage as my son found out with his Series 3 Stage 1 anyway hope yours isn't damaged cheers Dennis
PS Don't lend your truck

I'm not sure about the low range bit but on Saturday night I couldn't unlock my CDL on my D1. I had been 4wding on slippery tracks mostly in low range CDL for many hours.
To get it out I drove on the dirt swinging the steering left to right going forwards and in reverse. I'd never had it be so difficult to remove.

Anyway my passenger and fellow forumite and club member flicked it back to CDL and out again while I was doing the above and the CDL light went out.

As for not going back into high range have you tried shifting it on the move? Mine won't change when stationery.

Dinty, The vehicle had completed approx 10 km in low with the cdl engaged, it was only after doing the 3 point turn that the issue was noticed.

Justin,
I have tried to shift it from low to high range on the move and stationary, the CDL light is still on and wont budge, had a look under to ensure nothing was caught etc.
My CDL is leaver controled not a switch, not that flash.

I have learnt one thing he won't be borrowing the wagon again.

Cheers

Justin,

That is what I have to do with mine.
A good sharp "Whack" gets it out.

I think it's called lack of use
