Center Axle Disconnect Replacement Options

[machoheadgames]

so no luck finding a genuine Chrysler, The one I ordered that did NOT work was the Dorman, anyone else have any luck with another supplier?

I would try Crown. Good reviews on Quadratec. Crown also had good reviews on Amazon until 2022, at which point people said they were receiving Dormans in the Crown box. Quadratec reviews are solid up until September 2022 so I would try that. Theree is a small chance that it may even be a reboxed Chrysler just bought and sold by Crown.

Years ago my friend bought a brand-new mid-70s 4x4, without locking hubs. I asked if he was worried about wearing out the axle. He said the rear axle turns all the time and nobody worries about that. I asked about gas mileage and he said he got 14 mpg. That's not much now, maybe, but a mid-70s full size pickup with a V8 - that was approaching liars club.
