Hi gang,
2005 KJ and just about to go off warrenty!
I can engage 4WD without issue, and disengage on slippery surfaces just fine. But when I go from slippery to pavement, and drive a few feet, then disengage 4WD, though the 4WD light goes off, you can tell the front axle is still engaged. I need to stop, back up and then continue for it to disengage the front axle. If I drive in 4WD on pavement at high speed you can feel and hear the front end binding up. Been to the dealership 3 times now and 2 test drives they tell me they feel it not disengaging but that nothing is wrong.
Being an avid jeeper, the only thing that I can see to bind is incorrect tire sizes between front and rear. Yes they are the same size, though different models from goodyear. I will get the front ones replaced ASAP as this is driving me nuts, any other thoughts?
Is there a vaccum mechanism on the front axle to engage the axle shaft(s) like on an XJ?
