  • Today we experiment with an idea I learned from a friendly Canadian Ken Noakes. He posted this idea on the BC Suzuki Facebook group. It caught my interest and I had to try it, low and behold it works! A budget way to engage the front differential without the expensive actuator pump that is known to fail. Enjoy and have a happy New Year! 🍻 For Suzuki& Geo parts check out our ONLINE STORE @ Hwy83SuzukiSalvage.com or call 262-470-6425 ‪@Hwy83SUZUKI‬

    I rebuild them and I relocated the pump in front of the battery, so it is easy to get work on.

    Kewl trick
    I routed mine in the firewall where the wires from engine comes in the cab and cut a schreader valve from a tire and hose clamp it at the end... quick pump and check the pressure with a low pressure gauge and your good to go... remember to engage in 4wd before you pump... to disengage just shift to2wd and the air bleeds out automatically.. cheers from Canada EH

    I managed to fix mine. Just take the actuator apart till you get to the pump with two tubes coming out. One side rusts and leaks. I used o rings and gasket maker to fix the leak. No problems ever since.

    Hey Tony my pump died in my 01 at Zuwharrie a couple years ago and so I connected the Windshield Washer pump hose to the 4X4 pump hose and I would just hit the washer button to engage 4wheel drive. Yeah it worked ... and I’m not even Canadian.... but beer was involved!

    I know it's an older video and it's a good one. I'm gonna buy one of these pumps as well. My question is my actuator doesn't have any power going to it and I can't find what fuse runs it. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for the videos. I've been watching a lot of them.
