Default vac disconnect

Can someone give me a step by step on the washers mod? If my problem posted in an earlier thread,is the vac lines, I might as well do away with them.Also, at this point it's my daily driver,will this mod affect road driving? Thanks
Dave

By the way, I did a search already and wanted a little more info. Thanks again

Thanks for the welcome. I was reading of a mod where I think you take the shift motor off the side of the t-case and shim out the shaft to do away with the vacuum actuation.

I havent found the writeup yet, but maybe this will hold you over for a while.
It explains the vaccum disconnect operation

WAIT! I didnt notice you have a 99 till now. You do not have vaccum disconnect...

Front

  • Dana 30 high pinion - reverse cut - 27 spline, 1.16" diameter shafts, 7.13" ring gear - used '84-'99 (some axles through '91 are vacuum disconnect, '92+ are non-disconnect, '89-'95 with ABS have 5-297x u-joints, all '95+ have 5-297x u-joints, all others have 5-260x u-joints)
