No reason to. The factory eliminated that crap in 1991, and it was never on the vehicles with the NP242 transfer case. It's a huge bunch of over-engineering that is prone to stranding folks when they need it the most.

Half hour of time and just forget about it. There is NO downside to eliminating it now.

 

Awesome y'all thanks I will be doing it today

 

If u read my last post you'll see where I talked about my tps any input?

 

Now there's a new one. Gotta wonder if the ign switch could do that? Besides checking your TPS, you might check the "kickdown" cable, on the throttle linkage (which is not really a kickdown cable). There is a button ontop of the end of the housing that frees it. I set mine with about zero play, or play the thickness of a dime.

There are indeed two schools of thought regarding the disco. Some of us prefer leaving it as designed, others don't mind the extra wear and friction with it locked. Ether way is fine.

 

Gimme a link.

 

Just did the kickdown adjustment and nothing so I am getting a multimeter on Monday and do in the test for the tps then going from there

 

waz post 15 pete....copied in my 19....

 

It definitely was the tps causing the shifting issues....next item(s) on the list are the front axle ujoints and the rear main seal......yipeee lol

 

Did you adjust that TPS on the Engine side upon installation?

 

Yes I did

 

Good.

 

And the Crowd Cheers! Well done!

I bought a new rear main seal and pan gasket, then returned them. Be sure oil is not blowing back from the oil filter adapter and dripping off the bell-housing there, mimicking a leaking rear main seal. The O rings in the adapter harden and leak. Also it's crucial that the large tube off the valve cover is free to vent. If it's a kinked hose or an aftermarket filter, crankcase pressure from blow-by can make it **** oil all over, especially out the RM seal.

 

It is definitely rear main seal I can see where its leaking and the ccv are all good and not kinked or blocked. Thanks for the info though....and really didn't think it made that big of a deal but after researching I realize there's a reason why its called CRANKCASE ventilation. Lol thanks for the info
