[QUOTE="kjmagsig, post: 432180, member: 19828"] From my original question, I now have a couple new ones. Now that I know the red button is the cable that locks the front axle, how can I tell if it is actually engaged? (aside from jacking it up, putting it in neutral and hand-spinning the wheel.) How can I tell if it's actually in 4Wheel Drive, assuming the indicator light on the dash isn't working? Once the transfer case is in 4 High, if the front axle is not locked, is there still power to one of the wheels as with a standard differential? How far should the PTO cable move when I pull it out? As it is, the transfer case shift feels good and solid, no grinding, no noise when the jeep is moving. Then I pull the cable out, it only moves a very short distance, but there is no noticeable change in anything. I don't feel as if anything "engages" or locks when I pull the cable out, it just stops. Is this normal? Sorry for the barrage of questions. I just want to get this all figured out before the Wisconsin winter hits. Thanks in advance, I always appreciate the helpful advice and informations you guys provide. Also, Yjcharlie, what part of Michigan are you from? [/QUOTE]
