2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission CAD / POSI LOK failure, HELP

[robbiesworld]

I had a problem with my old CAD and replaced it with the posi lock system. This year my post lok keeps jumping out and won't stay engaged.



What is the best way to get rid of the CAD alltogether?



Is the 2002 dana 60 a non CAD differential?



Will it swap right in?

No CAD on the 2002.

Should be able to get a new 1pc shaft for yours.

I did some searching through prior threads and noticed there were some problems with just sapping a 2002 one piece axle into my 1995 housing.



anyone done this?



maybe a whole diff swap?

anyone have any ideas?

I don't know the specifics of the '02 D60, but I would imagine that the problem would be in the placement of the axle seals. The CAD axle uses a seal just inside the CAD housing, while non CAD axles use seals right next to the differential. The axleshafts in non-CAD axles don't have a raised and machined surface for the seal to ride on.

Posi-Lok also has something that I think is called the perma-lok or something like that. It permanently locks your CAD in. I have also heard that you can take it apart and turn around the fork but I haven't tried that.

It may just be a matter of adjusting the cable length on your existing system?
