Hello everyone I am a newb to this site and jeeps altogether actually. this doesnt mean I havent always wanted one the timing was never right. But now I have one I bought myself a 92 jeep cherokee 2 dr with a 4.0l. its in decent shape but there is an issue with the 4x4.
So the problem starts I guess with the 4 wheel drive shifter it doesn't go up into the 2wd position, even though it is in 2wd.

Second thing the guy told me that he had the transfer case replaced 3 months ago.

Ok so when it is in the 4h position its in 2 wd so I bring it down to 4lo and it does engage into 4wd, anyway the problem is that it jumps all over the place. to me it seems like the front tires are moving faster than the rear tires because the rear tires make squaking noises on every rotation.

so my question i guess would be did the idiot who replaced the tc install something wrong causing it to bind and jump and also not go into the 2wd position.

I would appreciate any help or advice as to what direction I need to head with this thing hope I am not asking to much
Thanks Kody

 

first of all dont use 4x4 on hard surfaces the linkage sounds like its not adjusted right very simple to fix look underneath find the linkage you will see a bolt that you adjust the rod with loosen it shove the lever into 2wd put the bracket on the trabnsfer case as far forward as it will go in the same direction tighten the bolt you done

 

Thanks alot man I am picking it up tomorrow so I will be sure to check that out.
Why is it that I can't use the 4x4 on hard surface?

 

cause the tires need to have some give, or it will rip your transfer case or rears apart.
