Front driveshaft spins but tires don't move...........vacuum fix


Recommended Posts

So i was wheeling late friday got the truck stuck pretty bad.  Came back the next day to try and get it out and realized the front driveshaft is spinning but the tires are not.  I am hoping that this is a vacuum issue and i didnt destroy the gears in the front driveshaft.   After coming home tonight after 7 hours of using a come along and other ways to get it out got it back on the trail and turned around facing the right way, but i couldnt get back up the hill because of the 4wd not working.(trucks still in the woods) I did some surfing on the web and came up with most likley it is some problem with the cad.   What i am wondering is if i pull the cover on the axel disconnect and manual slide the gear to the other side baring the fork is ok and it isnt actually engaged already will it stay over there long enough to get me out or will it move back over.

It will move back over , you'll either need to bring hose clamps or washers to keep it in place . Or you can flip the fork if you take the Cclips out and that should put it in place too .

 

The bolts are 7/16 iirc and there are several detailed threads on here as to how fix it .
