[Locking Hub Install With Pictures]

 

The guy in question was having issues with is transfer case that were not related to the hubs.. Me and many others have been running hubs with the atx14a TC with no issues and no 4x4 light..

 

Interesting. Seems like there would be a reason the light is coming on. Good to know most people are not having the light come on.

This was a statement that I posted that eventually was proven wrong... I had assumed all along that the front driveshaft was providing for the transfer case oil pump.. It was later showed that it was the rear (main) driveshaft.. So the hubs can be installed on both th atx14a and tx10 without issues.. The only thing to remember is to not leave the atx14a to AUTO mode. Also, do not engage the 4hi when rolling with your hubs open (not locked).

 

Thanks so much! I have the transfer case with the shifter rather than the dial, so the auto 4WD is not an issue.

 

Any thoughts on why the 4WD light is coming on with hubs unlocked?

I don't want to burst the bubble, but it should be noted that installing hubs on r50 that have the ATX14A Transfer Case is more than likely going to cause premature failure of it. This transfer case is clearly different in the way it has been designed and relies on sufficient oil pressure to lubricate the internal parts.

 

It has 2 oil pumps and the primary one is driven by the front driveshaft. The secondary is an electric motor that operates in certain condition and 2wd is not one of them. So basically when you have the hubs unlocked running on 2wd, there is no oil pressure in the TC.

 

be carefull with this... complete explanation of the ecu logic for the sub oil pump of the TC here : http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=22160&view=findpost&p=405931

 

How can I tell which transfer case I have?

 

If I have the tx10, is there a problem installing the manual hubs?

 

Thanks!
