4x4 POSI-LOCK!(HOME-MADE??)

HAS anybody replaced the old vacuum shifter fork on the Dana 30 with a cable-activated shifter?
What did you use and brief install comments...

I have the posi-lok and it works pretty good.If your good at fabricating it might not be too hard to make one.I think the hardest thing would be making a housing to fit on the axle,all the posi-lok does is reuse your shift fork with a cable and new housing.It was easy to install,messing with the c-clips that hold the fork on was about the hardest part,took me an hour or less to install.If you look Quadratec or J.C.Whitney's site there is a pretty good picture of one.

I highly recommend the posi-lok as well. Put one on a few months ago after many problems with the vacuum actuated system.
Took me about an hour, and wasn't too much trouble. If you're down there, I would recommend replacing the shift fork as well. Another $10-15, but it's worth it. Haven't had any 4x4 problems since. Good luck.
