Re: front differential question before install

Long time lurker, new poster. my gratitude to the mods online.
Thanks
Yes.
That is the way it works in 2W.

Plug in the actuator motor and put truck in 4W key on and the front axles should lock in.

Post back how it goes.

Also make sure it is the same gear ratio as old one.
