1988 vacuum disconnect eliminated/moved the connecter over permanently
So i ran about 200 miles of the baja 1000 course last week after the race and 4wd worked perfect. I ran super hard for my xj being basically stock(no lockers) and the road was about as bad as you could imagine so it got beat crazy hard but even through the end the 4wd felt perfect. Then a few days ago i put it in 4wd to pull someone out of the dirt and it wasn't working.
I checked the disconnect portion of the axle and it looks perfect still and the np231 linkage is still functioning. I put the car on jack stands and ran it in 2wd 4hi and 4low and the back wheels spin fine but the front ones don't move a hair. This is my daily driver and there have been no weird sounds or grinding heard like pieces in the transfer case. But it shouldn't run normally if something in the transfer case blew up anyways right?
I regularly drive in soft sand so 4wd needs to be fixed asap so please help! I don't know why the linkages would slip, but could this be a possibility? If so how do i test it or adjust it properly? Thanks
