Re: D30 W/TrueTrac Drivers side wheel engaged
 

On the YJ, the front left axle shaft is permanently "engaged" to the
differential. There is a gizmo that disconnects the front right axle shaft
when in two wheel drive. This may relate to what you were told.

Re: D30 W/TrueTrac Drivers side wheel engaged
 

That's not right. From this description, you have a situation where the
transfer case is engaged, and if you can rely on the light, the passenger's
side disconnect is not. This is probably not real good for your driver's
side tire or the TrueTrac. If this is really happening, the problem could
be that the transfer case is internally in gear, while the shifter is not in
a 4WD position.

The front drive shaft should turn freely, with both front wheels on the
ground. This is for an open differential. I am not sure whether the
TrueTrac will prevent that. At any rate, if you jack the front wheels off
the ground, the front drive shaft should definitely turn freely. If it does
not, then something is bound up inside the transfer case.

Re: D30 W/TrueTrac Drivers side wheel engaged
 

Why isn't anyone suggesting this could be a broken axle disconnect
motor?

While in 2WD, jack up the front right wheel, does it turn freely without
spinning the front drive shaft? If the driveshaft spins then the axle
disconnect
isn't working.
