That's why I like that linear actuator it has magnets that hold the position either way.

I considered modifying a stepper motor to do the work or lift a page from the Air Locker guys. and use much simpler air pressure (since I have a factory air ride compressor doing nothing these days since my axle swap/lift)

Hawk258. Keep us/me posted on whether you are able to fabricate an electric actuator for the Eagle. I've been contemplating doing the same thing rather than using a manual cable.

I'm going to be busy moving and getting my cabin ready to move into at the same time (YIKES!) as well as selling my '87 Comanche 4x4 Sport truck with all it's spare parts for $3500 (IH Dana 44 rear with 3.54 posi and 3.73 gears from the D44 front I have that match the 3.73 front already in it)

I was going to do the solenoid or cable in my Eagle and my Comanche but it'll take a bit before I get to it now.
