EdJarHead Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Just did some work on my axle (seals, universal joint replacement) and one of the vacuum lines on the CAD is broken. Anyone know of a replacement source (or size) for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know of a replacement source (or size) for these? I think they are pretty standard size. Take the broken one down to Autozone and get a length of what you need. They also have adapters/couplers to patch. That being said, one of my favorite "upgrades" was yanking out that whole thing. I locked the arm into the "engaged" position permanently and wired up an electrical indicator on the transfer case for the "PART-TIME" light.

pizzaman09 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 My CAD was pretty unreliable when I purchased my truck. After I swapped out the full truck vacuum harness for the cruise control one, it must have fixed a vacuum leak as the CAD now works perfectly and reliably. I'm thinking that my accumulator ball had a leak. Every time I drive the truck I make certain to actuate the 4 wheel drive for a moment and it always engages immediately. I am all for keeping the CAD, replace the vacuum line and make sure to actually use it occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 It will fail you sooner or later. do the CAD bypass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZJeff Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 There are several reasons why Jeep stopped using CAD on the XJ/MJ, and reliability is just one of them, and is a big one. Unless you are restoring you MJ to factory original into every detail, keeping the CAD makes little sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
