ok so i tore something out from under my jeep looked like some kind of hose my vacuum lines are still connected. i cant find anywhere the hose would have connected. iv tried all the tricks to get it out of 4x4. its an 88 pioneer.

 

That hose is a ventilation hose

 

Is all the mechanical linkage still attached? Have you tried to switch it on the lever/arm on the TC itself? What else have you tried?

 

iv tried everything while leaving the trail my buddy saw a hose hanging from the transfer case area but by the time i stopped the hose was gone. i at least need to get it out of 4x4 to get it home, is my biggest problem right now.

 

Drive it home take wide turns so you don't get the 4wd in a bind

 

i have to get up over 45 and im in 4 low. if i could figure out where the hose came from i could replace it and get it home. but i cant see anywhere it would have come from. would i be able to take the cover off of where the vacum lines go in and move the fork myself?

 

Could be it bound up my brothers has done the same thing.. Gotta wiggle the s@@@ outta it. To get it out of 4 low.. Idk could be tons if somthing caught it on the trail.. But vacuum has nothing to do with t case? Just CAD front axles? If I'm correct?

 

im not entirely sure im new to jeeps iv driven full size 70s chevys. its all stock 88 Cherokee pioneer. i dont think its bound up because there was a hose hanging.

 

Can he drop the front drive shaft? would that keep him moving

 

No scratch that he's in 4 low

 

It would still be in low and shouldn't go faster than 45mph...but there would be no binding.

Should be a linkage problem, or you didn't need 4low and the TC is done. Drive in reverse while turning both ways slightly, then shift to neutral and try to shift the TC.

 

thats the problem the tc isnt shifting at all

 

The transmission has to be in neutral to shift the TC

 

I'm saying drive in reverse to attempt to loosen the TC, sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn't.

 

i have it in netural when i try to shift its a missing part for sure...
