Spare part for switch

There were problems with the 4x4 connection but it didn't turn out to be a faulty part; However, my old one was in a rough state and looked like it was about to fail.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I'll add later

Recurring failures: Replacement parts

If it didn't leave me stuck and easier to replace, I'd keep getting replacements sent to me. The diaphragm broke a second time and the rubber is so thin it won't hold up.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Very bad quality. I do not recommend it!

My old drive is dead. I find a Dorman drive at Revain, order it and install it. After that, my mileage was not more than 1000 km. At the moment 4WD is not working, I am checking the Dorfman actuator in service. It's completely torn apart. Very bad quality. I do not recommend it! Give my money back!

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Good, but not great

Works but looks like an inferior bezel

I decided to take a chance after seeing some other less than excellent reviews. So far the actuator is working and I like the cheap price but I'm only giving it 3 stars because of the very thin diaphragm which probably won't last very long.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

DO NOT BUY! UPDATE: 4WD

Ripped in less than 2 months! maybe I used my 4 wheels 5 times in those 2 months. Terrible product, will try to get my money back! Update: I wrote to Dorman and they informed me that they had the tires replaced on new products and sent me a new spare with no problem. very easy to handle. Hope it lasts longer than 2 months. Changed from one to three stars for customer service

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

Good but not good for 4WD

Made in China. It's not a problem, but the design isn't the best. There are a decent amount of sharp parts, any of which can damage the thin rubber vacuum flask. So far it fits the 2000 GMC JIMMY it was bought for but I don't think it will last long. A common cause of failure of these parts is the vacuum switch that controls this actuator. They should be replaced by pairs from my experience. If that drive fails, I'll update this post.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other
