2002 Axle Disconnect

[btltd-1]

DOES ANYBODY HAVE INFO ABOUT THE DELETING OF THE AXLE DISCONNECT ON A 2002. THEY NOW HAVE A STRAIGHT AXLE! WITH THE STANDARD PART TIME TRANSFER CASE

 

[KWIKKURT]

btltd-1,



I would think it's the same as the 2001. The dodge 4X4 trucks have been straight axles for years. If you have the Dana 60 it should have a vacuum canister on the back side of the axle towards the Passenger side. It should have two vacuum hoses going to it. Take a look at it and reply back.



Two helpful hints:



1. use the search button at the top of the page to search for your questions... Most have already been discussed numerus times and you can get needed information Fast.



2. TYPING USING ALL CAPS IS THE SAME AS YELLING

SORRY FOR CAPS. THIS IS 2002 WITH A COMPLETELY STRAIGHT AXLE NO AXLE DISCONNECT PERIOD,VACUNE ETC,MY 2000 AND 99 BOTH HAVE THE DISCONNECT THE 2002 DOES NOT

 

[btltd-1]

better now. sorry

 

[KWIKKURT]

OH? I guess maybe try Using a good SawZall???#ad

 

[btltd-1]

sawzall would not be necessary since their is no disconnect period,would someone with a jan-feb built 2002 look under their truck please:--)

 

[KWIKKURT]

Hang on... ... I will go buy me a new truck in the Morning... .

 

[btltd-1]

picked up 2002 and no disconnect at all wanted to know if others have the same axle or is this new to the latest run of 4x4

I will have to check my truck as soon as I get it. Have you tried checking any of the local dealers or do they not have any in stock?



I know the dealers here have a bunch in stock but none were what I wanted.

 

[btltd-1]

this truck was ordered never even looked at the dealer lot. built end of feb in mexico,i like it without the disconnect will have some options now .

I just went out and crawled under my truck. I'd say that it has the vacuum canister on the back side of the axle towards the passenger side.

 

[btltd-1]

thank you dodge torque wagon for the info,just what i was wandering. the 2002 solid axle tracks and steers 100 percent better than my 2000. both are exactly the same trucks. will be talking to a friend at dynatrac about some hubs. this system when complete will be years ahead oy my current front axle. thanks again john

I went and looked at the dealer and it seemed that trucks built after January did not have the CAD. I tried to get some info on this and all the salesperson wanted is me to do was drive the truck. I went back to the shop and asked them if they knew anything. There "ACE" Tec didn't know what a CAD was. I had to take him out and show him.

As you could from the other thread my truck doesn't have the CAD. I e-mailed Dynatrac but didn't get a response from them. I will try again another day. Jeff
