I have vacuum problems with my automatic hub lock actuator. I am considering going to
a manual system and was wondering if anyone out there has used this kit or know of a better
or less expensive kit.

It seems to me this would be much more reliable.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I think the big problem with that is that you still have an electronically controlled transfer case. That just replaces the vacuum actuated front diff. And considering a new vacuum actuator is <$60, you've got quite a few replacements to go through before you'd save any money with the posilock.

Edit: Just saw you have an '88....do you even have the elctronic shift control? Or do you have a floor mounted manual lever? (Havn't ever been in an '88)

 

Floor mounted shift lever .
and some more searching found the kit for 180.00 , so thats
a little easier to take ;-)
