No idea how that Renix business works but in OBD-1 land it's used by the ECU for fan and controlling fuel mix mode (open/closed loop)

Is there some trick to removing the drive shaft from the transfer case? Mine is a 242, it should just pull out right? Mine is stick like Chuck. I dont believe there is a SYE in there it still running the stock drive shaft and do yall remove the rear sway bar?

Toss the rear sway bar. It's useless. Why are you wanting to pull the output shaft out? You know you'll leak the fluid out if you do right? If you're just wanting the rear driveshaft out take the ujoint out.
