Car Forum / Jeep / February 2005YJ 4WD Problems
I have a 91 YJ w/ 4.0 5speed manual. During the recent snow I got stuck on a hill. Just a normal hill plenty of other SUV's pass me. Took me a long time to finally get it up the hill. I was upset to say the least. Anyway when slipping the rear end would get sideways (as if in 2wd) and a knocking sound would start that sounds like it's from the front end or maybe directly underneath me. It sounds similar to not fully engaging the 4WD if anyone has done that in their YJ. Anyone have any ideas? Transfer case? Shift linkage? or what. Any input would be appreciated.... -Brian > I have a 91 YJ w/ 4.0 5speed manual. During the recent snow I got stuck on a > hill. Just a normal hill plenty of other SUV's pass me.

I had that problem with a Blazer that used vacuum to actuate a cable that pulled in the hubs. >I have a 91 YJ w/ 4.0 5speed manual. During the recent snow I got stuck on a >hill.

The YJ uses a troublesome vacuum actuated axle disconnect system." sounds like yours has given up the ghost. Drifter "I've been here, I've been there..." >>I have a 91 YJ w/ 4.0 5speed manual.

(feedback is always nice). I think in the end you'll be happier with a manual disconnect anyway. possible sources... http://www.tjsales.com/4X4/POSI-LOK/MANUAL/AXLE/DISCONNECT/YJ/Miscellaneous.html http://www.4x4posi-lok.com/app_jeep.html Good luck.

Although probably too late for this one, I found this link a few days ago http://home.earthlink.net/~stevenschreiber/cabledis.htm Home made "posi-lock" Looks like a project for me once the snow disappears ;) John >>>Thank you all, i will post what happens, i looks like i will be buying a >>>manual disconnect from quadratec.

How sad :( You would think being a Jeep owner of anything prior to the inception of the TJ, you'd almost ~have~ to be a DIY type. Guess I was wrong. Personally, I'll MacGyver almost anything as long as it's safe. I'm big on DIY... obviously from the link... I guess the shinier the paint, the less likely the odds are the owner is a DIY type huh? Might explain why mine is all flat colors ;-) John |
