Do your vacuum lines run under the battery? If they do, they could very well
be cracked and broken.

I would really try to find out what is going on before wasting money on
something you might not need.....

An expensive chunk of cable sure won't help a stretched drive chain in
the t-case or fix the motor or tranny mount that has shifted so the gear
shift linkage doesn't let you go all the way into 4 high or loosen the
rust that is binding the shift linkage stopping it from going all the
way in.....

Just my $0.02,
