DirtyComanche Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Probably... Put it in 4hi or lo and see if you can spin the front driveshaft freely. If you can't, your tcase is fine and it's the disco. In that case it sounds like the vacuum switch in the back of the tcase. I'd just perma-lock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it sounds like the vacuum switch in the back of the tcase. I'd just perma-lock it. I AGREE!! Its the DISCO not the T-case!! I believe www.GOJEEP.com has a write up on maitaince of this unit. Not hard, check the vacuum lines as well. Check the pass side inner fender. Is there a little bracket with a blue thingie attached? It should have a wire or two and a air line into the bottom. This is your switch to turn the light on the dash for 4WD. If no, yours may be the wired version all on the disconect at the axle. In any event, its most likely that your front axle is NOT disconnecting when the T-case is shifted out of 4WD. Annoying but not a huge deal if the front is still open.

DirtyComanche Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Nope. No issues. It'll just make your front D/S spin all the time. Hopefull it's not bent or anything, because you'll know with it spinning... I converted mine to a one-peice shaft. But that was because my new carrier (trutrac) wouldn't work with the two peice ones.
