Axle disconnect cheap fix
I have a 1987 Cherokee with the junk vacuum disconnect. It left me stranded on the beach the other day,won’t happen again. I took it apart,removed the vacuum motor and shaft,got a 3/8 3 inch long bolt,2 nuts,3 washers and fixed it.The bolt replaces the shaft,one nut locks the shift fork in place,with a washer, the other nut and 2 washers lock the bolt into the housing. Simple and cheap. They make a kit to do the same thing that cost .

On the inside of the 4x4 you will notice either an extra gear lever or dial on the dash which allows you to shift the vehicle into high or low range 4WD. As a general rule, for moderate inclines, slippery or sandy situations, use 4WD high range. For very deep water crossings, steep or rocky ground use 4WD low range. If you are not sure about this read your owners manual or join a club.
