Re: 89 cherokee 4wd engage/disengage problem
Interesting, our 88 has the disconnect. I guess a visual is in order
for the OP. If it has the switch on the passenger side axle, it has a
disconnect.
I am mobile, but not much better. The accident really messed up my neck
and shoulder and the doctors are telling me it's likely permanent. My
neck vertebra are compressed from C3 to C7 with C5 hitting the central
cord even. I go for more MRI photos this week to see if they can
re-attach my shoulder blade or not. The muscles under it act like they
are ripped all to crap and one MRI shot shows them torn bad.
The only off roading I am doing these days is just enough to get to a
camp place and park my butt. We were supposed to go out last weekend
for 5 days but I couldn't function well enough to drive there even after
some insurance quacks 'assessed' me on the Thursday. :-(

Re: 89 cherokee 4wd engage/disengage problem
Is the disconnect related to Command Trac versus Selec Trac? What I am
thinking, is that Selec Trac has a "full time four wheel drive" mode, and
the disconnect doesn't look like something, that is designed for heavy duty
cycles.
