Front Axle Shifting
My old vacuum shift motor has failed I was wondering if anyone has replaced
it with a 4x2 Posi-Lok. If so is it worth the $200 price tag? Does it use
the factory 4wd light on the dash? Can I remove the vacuum lines coming off
the transfer case once it is installed?
TIA

Re: Front Axle Shifting
Hi Scott,
Great mod for the Dana 30 with disconnect. Make your own. I installed a
homemade one that was built with an old Chelsea power take-off cable
that was given to me. Uses the existing shift fork and cover. Easy to
do. Total cost $0.
http://xjeep.dyndns.org/posilok/
I pulled the actuator thingy and vacuum harness, covered the remaining
lines, and the shift light still works (not that I really care).
When my vac shifter first failed, I simply blocked the fork with a bolt
and a hose clamp. That kept me engaged, but I noticed more highway noise
and reduced gas mileage. Much better now and the 2-low option is nice on
the trail.

Re: Front Axle Shifting
I've been badly wanting to do this... How does the cable move the shifter
fork?
