No I just turned it on and off several times and listened for the click. Then pulled it in and out of the garage a few times turned it on when I backed out and off when I drove in. When I got done I lifted all 4 tires off the ground,started it and put it in gear,both drive and reverse and checked if the front wheels would spin but only the back ones were turning. After I get done with some other projects but hopefully before next winter,I'm planning on putting on manual lockers so it won't matter as much. If I don't get it done it's no biggie though since the automatic ones still work good,I'll just have to make sure it actually comes out of 4x4.
If your TC is locked in then your rear wheels will be turning at a lower gear ratio and turning slower. 4-H maybe not be a big problem but if you are in 4-L you will notice the rpm will be up and the truck will be just moving.
Also it will be burning more gas !
You need to get the TC working properly so you will be in 2x-H !
I understand all that and that's what I was saying I did to make sure it was in 2x-H. In other words,it's working fine right now,I just need to keep it working that way.
