MODS, can this be moved to the appropriate section, out of introductions, so Joey can hopefully get an answer from someone.

Some one will move it for you, that way your not doubling up threads/post, more likely to get answer.

Skippy,

The solenoids on the factory difflock do have a habit of failing, and it does sound like the problem given the symptoms

[happygu]

Diff lock solenoids are the same as EGR solenoids , almost bolt-on .
