Oh shit, now you are becoming my mentor. Ok, good pep talk and I will go through that flow chart decision tree meticulously. I tried to order a new switch from dealer, and was told discontinued and not available anywhere in usa. Another jeep poster suggested mopar part 53001101AB, which looks...

I removed the entire harness, took off the protective sleeve, inspected every milimeter for cracks or breaks, all good. I sort of did what you suggested, putting air in, blocking end, no leaks anywhere. It seems now that either the original and replacement switch are bad, or an issue inside...

Great, thank you! Although no vacuum at 2 leads by front axle leave me still stumped. I think I'm defeated.

If you are still with me, a question. I took out the 4 tube harness and inspected. All tubes are in great shape. In testing the lines, there is one that leads from 4 prong plug, terminating by the dipstic, drooping down, with a bulb end on it. I feel air leaking out of it when I push air...

Got it, sweet tip, thank you. I'll send a photo in a few months (years?).

Good stuff, thanks. I agree, I like the original flares.

Awesome feedback. That settles it, I've heard so many say that the others are garbage. I'll order a 2.5 OME with some new shackles, just cause it looks nice. And a new OME steering stabilizer, mine is dumping fluid all over the driveway. Maybe put 31s on there, nothing too drastic. I guess I'll...

One more question, I'm looking at the photo of your YJ. What lift did you get, and what shackles did you get? And what size tires fit? My 92 is totally stock so I'm gearing things up to make it more fun.

Great info, thanks again. I think the final thing to do is to break apart each vacuum line from the housing and inspect, and test air through for blockage. That's the only thing left. Seems like a neat system when operating normally, but seems finicky on a 30 yr old beast. Owe you a beer.

Man, you are quite a good source for this info. So the new switch I bought (don't be mad) was at my local shop for like $12. For $12 I thought what the heck I'll try it. Should have known it was cheap when there was no gasket on included (used my old one). So when I installed that, making sure...

I don't know if this is how the switch works or not, but when I pulled it out, I held it in my hand, pressed the ball, and blew on each hole to see if a valve had opened, and no there wasn't any difference. Since the new one was the same, maybe that's meaningless.

Man, getting the vacuum switch out was a bit of a challenge, had to disconnect linkage from shifter to get a wrench up there. Got it out, put in new one, no change. Stumped me! When the ball of the switch is depressed, shouldn't it be freeing up a port or two to pass vacuum up to the front? When...

I have good vacuum on one of the four holes! So next I'll try a new switch.

Aha crap now I get it. I was thinking the vacuum went the other way. Will check that out, you have been super helpful, thank you so much. If I can't solve this, I'll pony up for the posi manual switch from quadratec.

So I feel no suction on either of the two hoses at the front axle when 4wd engaged, nor do I feel any suction on any of the 4 metal vacuum ports on the bare switch at tcase (when the 4 port plug is removed). Hope I'm answering the question right.

You da man. No, when I have it in 4wd hi, engine running in neutral, i can't feel a thing on the 4 pronged vacuum switch back at the tramsmission housing. You mentioned, is it hooked up to the intake manifold properly? I see there are two small vacuum lines going up to engine bay, one droops...

Ok, now I have to come clean and admit, embarrassingly, I was actually NOT getting 4wd. So sorry to have wasted folks time, duh. The low gearing threw me off and I am new to this. So now my issue is that there does not seem to be any vacuum (sucking?) when I put it in 4wd, yes engine running...

Ok good tip, thanks.

Ok good info, thanks for the quick reply.
