Easy-wire GM 4x4 hub lock + Indicator Kit

$299.00
Kit Type
Hub Lock Motor
Description:

The Easy-wire GM 4x4 hub lock + indicator kit is a stand-alone wiring system designed to activate the front hub lock motor and LED indicator light in your 4x4 GM van or custom project. While specifically tailored for GM vans equipped with the NP261 transfer case, it can also be adapted for various custom applications.

The IFS 8.25 and 9.25 AAM front differentials found in 1/2-ton and 3/4 ton GM pickups employ an electronic actuator to activate the front CV axles and lock the hubs. This eliminates the need to exit the vehicle to turn the hubs, but it does entail wiring to integrate the light, motor, and manual shift t-case. 

How:

This kit utilizes the signal from your manual transfer case shifter to engage the hub lock actuator, subsequently triggering an LED indicator inside your vehicle as a reminder that 4x4 mode is engaged.

The harness isn't super complicated, but it takes time to construct and comes out much cleaner when it's assembled prior to installation. Our design has pre-determined lengths and junctions suitable for vans and pickups that have an under-hood fuse panel. The harness is fully sheathed,  junctions are soldered and heat-shrunk and any plug-connections are waterproof. 

Options include our standard GM conversion kit for the NP261 or a DIY XL kit with extra long wires. (end connections not soldered, t-case range sensor not included). You can choose whether you want a new AAM brand actuator (the most reliable brand) if you need it. **Standard GM kit is bench-tested on a new actuator prior to packaging. 

Fitment Designed for: 

Van Side - 2003-2022 Chevrolet Express 2500/3500/4500 series 4x4 vans with 8.25 or 9.25 front differential and NP261 or Magna transfer case.
