New guy here been reading everything on the net about smart bar issues mine will disconnect but won't reconnect it's not electrical for sure but mechanicals . I think the shift fork is worn and has to much play ? Any ideas ? In my pics you can see how it sticks to the disconnect position

Put some light grease on the sliding surfaces, and reassemble. They don't believe in lubing these things for some reason.

I greased her up and it still sticks iv had it off and on 5 times using a different lubes something must be worn and not lining up properly to allow it to mesh or maybe my spring is to week to push it back? while I was under there I found my shift boot is leaking, lower drivers control arm is shot, transfer case output shaft seal is wet, That is what i get for buying used I guess

The shift boot is a common problem. Ask around about the fix for it. The other stuff is just normal wear and tear for that many miles. Check the ends of the splines to make sure there is no burrs or sharpe edges to hang anything up.

Or you could do the manual conversion. http://www.offroadevolution.com/store/p ... O-NOLIMITS

thanks for the help guys but the manual conversion still relies on the spring to re-engage the bar which is my problem I put it together connected solid green light now I am going try and find parts I still have my o4 3500 diesel and i find it weird jumping back and forth the g56 seems pretty loose and notchy compared to the NV 5600 but I loving the wagon apples to oranges to the 3500 totally different applications

Sounds like the exact problem I am having, have not had a chance to tear it apart yet though
