I'd say that you should consider switching to decaf.

Re: 97 Jeep Cherokee 4wd - 4wd Won't disengage
 

You should get your Jeep fixed in my opinion. Just because your tranny
and t-case doesn't work properly, it doesn't mean others 'must' be
broken too.

It seems to be fairly common for one reason or another, engine and
tranny mounts getting saggy is one thing that comes to mind so they just
need a little adjustment to make up for it.

I know I certainly wouldn't be allowed to have either of my Jeeps broken
like that!

My wife would not put up with it even for a day because she gets off
work before the plows get going and sees bare and covered roads a lot on
the way home so shifts into and out of 4 high at every second or 3rd
intersection. You know, clear main roads and covered secondary with
some cleared through the secondaries. 4 shifts in and out at least
usually.

If you were doing that drive daily and had to stop in traffic to shift,
you first off would look like a fool, and second would be a road hazard.

Hopefully Matt you don't really think that shifting into N while
driving is preferrable to just backing off a bit on the gas. :)

Re: 97 Jeep Cherokee 4wd - 4wd Won't disengage
 

I felt the same way, and our Cherokee was practically new when this
happened, nothing apparently wrong with it. I also figured out that
anything that used that much fuel, should be able to hold a 4x8 sheet of
sheetrock, or 20 of them if need be. I replaced it with a 3/4 ton Suburban,
and I have been happy since. It has practically the same transfer case, a
similar transmission, and doesn't give any grief shifting the transfer case.
Maybe the Cherokee was broken, or maybe the Aisin transmission is just a
piece of crap. I didn't feel like finding out.

Re: 97 Jeep Cherokee 4wd - 4wd Won't disengage
 

I felt the same way, and our Cherokee was practically new when this
happened, nothing apparently wrong with it. I also figured out that
anything that used that much fuel, should be able to hold a 4x8 sheet of
sheetrock, or 20 of them if need be. I replaced it with a 3/4 ton Suburban,
and I have been happy since. It has practically the same transfer case, a
similar transmission, and doesn't give any grief shifting the transfer case.
Maybe the Cherokee was broken, or maybe the Aisin transmission is just a
piece of crap. I didn't feel like finding out.
