Yes, a posi-lock is intended to eliminate the CAD vacuum system.

Yes, it locks your axles together so it acts like a 91+ system.
Dont pay the 200 bucks for one though, you can build your own.

Yes from my understanding, the posi shifts the fork in the axle to engage the two shafts so it will work. Is that correct?
You should look into some homade ones instead of spending 200 bucks.
I have seen write ups on jeep forum but way too complicated for me.
I also have the vac disco and want a posi soon. My 4x4 still works so im good for now.
Hope someone chimes in with a good idea.
