Re: Jeep stuck in Part Time 4WD
Try to leave the older information here instead of chopping it off all
the time, it makes it easier for someone to follow what is going on.
The 95 Grand should not have a V6 unless you are a looonnnnng way from
the US. Only a straight 6.
If you have a 4 Hi, 4 Lo, and 2 Hi, that would be the NP231 Transfer.
There is a tag on the rear of the case to make sure.
If so, it is directly shifted by a linkage, and the 4wd indicator is a
simple switch located on the top front between the shafts. The mode is
controlled by a simple fork. You may be able to check that it is in 2Hi
by raising the vehicle front and trying to turn the front wheels.
The other 2 transfer cases have full time 4wd available...

Re: Jeep stuck in Part Time 4WD
AFAIK no Grand Cherokee ever had the vacuum switch. Sounds like his T case
linkage needs adjustment.
