CWLONGSHOT Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Time to take a look at your CAD... Central Axle Disconnect. CW
BLHTAZ Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 The vacuum switch in the t-case is probably stuck. Sometimes you can free it up by taking it out and cleaning it, but typically it is best to replace it. It is on the left side and has a plug of 4 vacuum lines going to it. Unplug the lines and it screws out.
Lenard Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Unplug the lines and it screws out.yeah, you got to drop the T-case to do that though, I was just under mine looking at the vacuum lines cause it hasn't been work right, and i couldn't even get my hand to where i could touch the lines going into the T-case.

I just ignore it... it blinks every now and then... Not at all helpful I know, but that's what I do best! SW2

I have changed these many times and it only takes 5 minutes or less. Is there something different about the '86 than other models??
ComancheKid45 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Posted January 29, 2008 alright thanks guys....i may check out the underside next time i got in on my lift at work.....as long as the 4WD works I'm not 2 worried ;)

BLHTAZ Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 If you lay on the ground on the driver side of your truck and look up under it you should see something that looks like this... ;)
Lenard Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 If you lay on the ground on the driver side of your truck and look up under it you should see something that looks like this... ;) dang! thats what i'm talking about but mine is on top of the t-case, what year is yours?

I will take a look at mine tonight when I'm finishing my Ball Joints... What did you use, or how did you clean it, or is this a replacement (Part #?) SuperWade2
BLHTAZ Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Mine is an '88 but I have never see one on a Jeep be in a different place. I have changed them on many different Jeeps and they have all been in the same place. It has to be on the end of the case where the shift rod can push it. I have not worked on an '86 before and I know that they used the V-6 engine, so there is obviously something different about the t-case that I haven't seen.
tjbliley Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 could it have a np207 t-case. I think it might be in a different location. in the front next to where the tranny mounts to the tcase. It is the same part just in a differnt loaction.
Pete M Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Yeah, I think the 207 (stock case in 86 only) has it slightly different.
BLHTAZ Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 OK...I went and looked up a 207 since every Jeep that I have owned or worked on has been a 231. Yes...that would make the difference and the switch is on the front of the shift shaft instead of the rear so it would be a little harder to get to, but not impossible to do with the case in the truck.
