Reviews: Alloy USA Differential Cable Lock Kits

After the last time I got stuck in mud and snow because the vacuum actuator didn't work, I knew this was the ticket. Installation was fairly easy. The hardest part was figuring out where I wanted to mount it.

The product is functional and engages on command. I installed this actuator on my 97 ram 2500 cummins since my factory actuator failed. Make sure you zip tie the cable over to the loom of brake lines and other cables on the drivers side of the engine bay. If you do not zip tie the cable at this spot, the cable can catch on the throttle linkage. This is a great product at a great price.

Great if you put a different transfer case in your truck and don't want to fool with vacuum lines

product was fairly easy to install as i am not a mechanic. So far seems to far outperform the factory vaccum system.

I installed this in my 1985 S-10 truck. I'm a Mechanic and this was the best way to get rid of the vacuum operated front axle. It works great but the every day guy is going to have a hard time with the instructions.

Put this on my 90 YJ. It works great and engages the front axles with ease. The best thing you can do if/when you install this is to think though where you want to route the cable. Once you drilll the hole to run the cable you don't want to have to drill another large hole. On the down side, the housing for the fork is potted metal. Im figuring a way to sheild or put some kind of skip on mine to help protect it.
