I have every thing in meaning, tease, drive shaft, shifter, axle lol, and tranny. So now my last problem is the vacume part. I think the front Dana 30 is out of an 86 XJ. What do I need to do vacume wise to get every thing working properly? A diagram would be very helpfull. Thank you

I dont think it will matter but heres a pic of the axle

this should maybe help you, its better than relying on vacuum when it cable driven

I'm not looking for a posi I'm looking to just get the 4 wheel drive working. Within the next two months I'm going to have an elocker in her any ways. But I do apreshate it

Remember my truck has never been 4x4 before this so I'm not even sure where to start.

Since your this far into it why not convert to the non vacuum axles in the vacuum housing?

 

^ i was wondering the same thing

 

Someone on here once explained that having the vacuum axle housing converted to use the axles from the non vacuum axle is actually a stronger setup.

 

I think the CAD cast housing is the weak point of that axle.

 

Disco axle housings are a little thicker to compensate for the disco area. Put a non-disco axle in place of the two disco parts and remove the bracketry and weld up the selector hole. No vacuum required.

 

I think you should read what BlueXJ posted. He better explained what I wanted to explain.

 

that doesnt even look like a CAD axle...

 

I don't know why but it seems there may have been a bit of a mix up when It
Comes to what year the front end is. But from what I've been told it is not a CAD axle tho. So now what's needed to get it to work seeing as how it's Not a CAD axle? Thanks

put the t-case in 4 wheel drive and go

also looks like you need a breather tube for the diff yet. i ran mine up under the hood.

 

Really? So there's nothing to do with vacume or any thing? Huh... That's simple hopefully I'll beable to test her out some time this weekend.

Oh and I just ran it under the hood about 3' long. I'll make it longer I'm sure. The rear axle vent line I have run up all the way next to the tool box and same thing with the tranny. Now all I need to do is put the snorkel one

Thanks again guys!
