do any of you have the 424 on your rancher? i am fixing to buy a 2001 honda rancher 4x4 manual shift. i was thinking about buying the warn 424 to put on it,but i am concerned about the quality of the product. i am wondering if this cable will "wear out" quickly or last a long time cause i dont want to get in the situation of having my front end messed up or not working. i just dont want to put it on there and 6 months to a year later have my front end tore up where the 4x4 doesnt even work. any input would be appreciated

 

on over 2 years, has 2500 miles on it, had issues with the unit not locking twice due to dirt after cleaning fine, nothing yet needing replacement, best investment next to quad itself

 

when you say "cleanin" do you mean down by the joint? where it unlocks and locks?

 

i have to clean the **** thing you pull on once in a while, there are little ball bearing things in there that get gummed up with dirt and then it wond lock into 2wd, but that's fine because if for some reason the **** broke, the springs down by the axle push it back into 4wd by default. That is really a cool fail-safe thing the engineers put into the design. if the cable or the **** mechanism breaks at all, it pops back into 4x4, to get you out of the woods.
