pull it when u go wheelin

 

o ok ive been having it pulled out when i drive anywhere because thats how i bought it and didnt want to mess with it

 

i dont think itll make a difference on road

 

haha good but its weird it seems like i have been getting better gas millage and i have huge tires and a 4in lift

 

lol then keep it the way that helps mpg

 

MPG's shouldn't be that noticeable. It will be like 3 miles per tank or something. But it is not a locker. Go on gravel set your E brake put it in 4X4 and see what spins then pull it out and see what spins. And lay into it an open diff will spin right and left for a sec then switch to only one side. If they bolth spin seemingly forever pull that diff off and post a pick of what you got you could have a locker.

 

ok will do

 

Front axel Cable disconect. Your XJ originally came whit a vacum operated disconect, to engage the 2 PC axel, later model have a 1 piece axel. IT does NOT give POSI unless you have a LOCKER installed, aslo. It is simular to haveing a Locking Hub on the right side.

 

i assumed there was one in there since this part is pretty much useless without a locker

 

so does that mean it has a locker?

 

not necessarily but it might,theres only one way to find out,do what brutalxj said and ull find out

 

Interesting. :P

 

awsome thanks to you and everyone else i love this forum ive been on it one day it has already helped me to much!!!!

 

I don't see how it is useless with out a locker, it engages the right axle shaft. It was more than likely put in to replace a faulty vacuum motor. With out having it engaged in 4wd neither front tire will have power.

People a lot of times weld the front diff and use it to disconect one shaft to make it easier to turn.

Easy to find out what all is in the front, find a dirt road put it in 4wd and mash on the gas, if both fronts spin at the same time you have a locker. If only one spins it was just put there to replace a faulty vacuum motor. If neither spin put the **** in the opposite position and try again. And the know rotates to lock the **** from walking back in when pulled out.

Also you need to have that **** pulled out anytime you want 4wd. If its pushed in you will not have power to the front.

 

Looks like someone added a hand throttle for slow speed crawling, handy for running voltage inverters, winche's, etc.. Push the button and pull it out the engine should speed up or you can screw it out c/c to increase throttle slowly. Chevokeeman.
