Dan the Gear Man® Tech Notes: Wear Differential Output Shaft CAD Engagement Issues CAD Kits Matching Parts Applications
Tech Note 1: WearUsing the correct thickness gasket is essential for CAD axles as there may be insufficient clearance between the fork opening and shift collar without it.
Tech Note 2: Differential Output ShaftThe differential output shaft (intermediate shaft) from the axle on most 1985-1993 Dodge and on most Jeeps with vacuum controlled Central Axle Disconnect (CAD) is retained by a snap ring on the inboard end. If you need to remove the diff output shaft, you will need to pull the diff cover and remove the snap ring.
Tech Note 3: CAD Engagement IssuesIf you are having Central Axle Disconnect engagement problems, there are usually multiple causes. Some of the most common issues that need to be checked are (and part numbers for most Dodge applications): Vacuum Shift Motor Leak: Unit will not hold steady vacuum. Replacement is required, see QU40224. Bent Vacuum Motor Shift Rod: Replacement is required, see QU40224. Worn Axle Shaft Bushings: Replacement is required, see QK4626. Differential Output Shaft Splines Worn: Replacement is required, see QU10943. Stud on End of Differential Output Shaft Worn Undersize: Replacement is required, see QU10943. Tips of Shift Collar Splines Worn: Replacement is required, see QU40274. Shift Fork Bent or Pads Missing: Replacement is required, see QU40156 Pads and QA4760 Fork Kit. Vacuum Line Leak (VERY common on these older trucks): See QU11061 and QU11062 Transfer Case Vacuum Switch Bad: Replacement is required, see QU10569
Tech Note 4: CAD KitsGiven the era of trucks this gasket fits, it is recommended you replace the inner axle seals which can become hard and brittle with age if you remove the axle shafts. Some available Kits with Installation Tools and Seals include: QK4620 for 1988 to 1999 Dodge Ram with CAD QK4621 for 2000 to 2002 Dodge Ram with CAD QK4601 for most 1984-1987.5 Jeeps with CAD QK4624 for most 1987-1996 Jeeps with CAD
