D30 W/TrueTrac Drivers side wheel engaged
The other day the road was icy and when I pulled off the grass and onto the road the front drivers side wheel was spinning. I was not in 4Hi or 4Lo... So what gives There was not 4WD light on ... nothing but a new truetrac put into the D30 over the summer... Does this mean my Tcase is going bad? Brian Moga Waxhaw.Net |

It might help if you say what flavor of Jeep you have.
If your front is locked and you were turning, one wheel will scuff the road. Maybe it was that?

Well, we know you were in four wheel drive, a big problem on
pavement.

Front left. It wouldn't have driven the wheel though, unless the transfer
case was engaged. More poltergeists. Earle "Troy" <troy@ .> wrote in message ... > I'm going to guess a YJ is what yer driving, I think I heard someone saying > something about how the front right is engaged. I don't know tho. > > Troy > > |

I think you may have hit the nail on the head...3" body lifts can cause all
sorts of shifting problems.

This is a 91 YJ with an I6 I know the TCase was/is engaged ... it has to be... is this a common failure or does the 3 inch body lift not allow the TCase to disengage 4WD...

The 3" body lift is a problem with more than just the shifter... It
will stress out and flex big time. I think folks have to modify the shifter when going waaay up like that. On some there is a linkage extension you can get I believe. You cannot drive it on pavement that way or you 'will' break something in the drivetrain. I got stuck on pavement in 4x4 (no place to pull off the highway) and my T-case was stuck in 4x4 because it wound/bound up before I noticed the snow was gone. I finally got to stop and spin the tires to release it so it would shift to 2 WD, but I was too late. I only killed a u-joint in the front driveshaft. Our old tennant did it in a XJ and literally exploded his t-case....

Wait, so ya mean the front left engages when 4wd is engaged or it's engaged
all the time? Just trying to correct myself and know for sure. Troy "Earle Horton" > wrote in message m... > Front left.

The normal torque on Jeep wheels is the right rear as the main drive
wheel in 2 WD and the left front as the secondary main drive wheel when in 4x4. That is why when you do a 5 tire rotation, the spare goes on the right rear with the right rear going to the right front and the right front to the spare. They figure the three swapping on the main drive side will even out the wear with just swapping the left tires front to back. There are some differentials out there that work different, but they usually put something like a 'LT' sticker on the vehicle or in it's name for Left Tire drive.
