Re: all right time for some 4WD questions
There are vacuum lines running to the axle on the passenger side.
Sounds like one is off or broken. Those lines also run 'real' close to
the exhaust pipe and I have seen a few that got melted back near the
transfer case.
One other thing, if you only have one wheel spinning, you can bang on
the brake pedal while giving it gas and when you load up the spinning
wheel with the brake, the torque needed to turn the wheel will equal the
torque needed to break the not moving wheel loose from the ground. That
way you can get both back wheels and if you are really good all 4
spinning. Even with open diffs.
My owners manual mentions that using the e-brake can do the same, but I
have had better luck punching/pulsing the brake pedal hard.
