Rugged ridge front axle disconnect cable diffuculty
So i replaced the vac disco actuator a while back with a rugged ridge cable becouse it worked when it wanted to. now i have the same problem with the cable, i put in 4 and yank the hell out of the **** and drive forward and backwards and MAYBE it will engage, its a real pain. just wondering if someone has a similar issue or should i just put the lockout in.

Doesn't that cable attach to the shift fork via e-clips? If so, maybe one has popped off. Good thing is it doesn't take much to pop off that cover and see.

So i found out why it wouldnt shift, the collar was siezed onto the axle, must have rusted a little. I freed it up seems to be working ok for now, i will try to shift it more often to keep it from happening again.
