Front differential problems

I have a 09 t4 that will not go into 4 wheel drive. I am taken apart the differential but can not figure out how to open the cluster gears!!! Any one can help I would appreciate it very much

I got it open all is good . When I put in 4x4 the you can turn the front axles but the drive line stays in place. Is this the norm on a Trooper. Iam a new owner and a little confused about this.

There are some past postings on here about the front diff, how it works and how the 4x4 engages. You will have to do a little searching. Most of the post were by Lenny. Do a search for front diff Lenny. He may even read this and post again or PM (Private Message) you. Kinarfi and a couple others may even chime in.

First go to Technical Articles above and look for Differential inspection. My first thought is that is is in the actuator. There is a collar that connects two gears together by sliding from all the way on one gear to half over each gear thus connecting them and engaging lockout. If this collar doesn't slide far enough to get over the second gear (it really wants to get half way over it), lockout won't engage. Likewise if the collar slides all the way onto the second gear, it's going too far and you won't be engaged here either. The pin that goes into the side of the diff controls this and its range of movement is adjustable under the dash and at the diff.

      MY 400 is gutless. I would like to know if I can upgrade to a larger engine ?

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Got it running. The 4wd gets 12v power but does not engage. The posi traction (rear end) does not engage also.  Any one have experience / ideas on fixing these items?
       
      Thanks Dave

      My "R" light on the dash will not go out when I take the UTV out of reverse and put it into any other gear. Is this just the light switch issue or will this effect engine performance in the other gears?

      At the end of last year my Coleman UT 500 will not go into reverse. I can hold it over toward the reverse to move it nut it won't lock into reverse. Anyone have this problem? Winter is just about over and going to have to get this resolved. Thank You!
