4wd actuator help

[Goatman]

I have a 1990 k1500 4x4 and the actuator went bad and I have had a few people tell me of a cup type thing I could insert and it would eliminate the need to reverse and all that going into 4wd and coming out of.

Anyone know what this is?

Dangit I thought there was a different kind

the one in your truck should be a thermal actuator you can change it to the newer electric actuator there is some wiring involved with that, has a different style plug on it.

I'll just order the posi lock system

I know a few people that have them and are happy with the way they work

I know what your saying I had issues a few times last winter and I plow with the truck.I ended up keeping a few spares from the junkyard with me if It decided to crap out.This year I have my 02 silverado for plowing

I put the electric one in both my 88 and 94 and it was much better...instant response. The wiring harness is easy to install. I did each one in less than an hour.

Do ya still have to reverse to engage?
