FRONT AXLE WILL NOT DISENGAGE
Model and Year:
1983-1991 T TRUCKS
Owners of some 1983-1991 T vehicles may comment about inappropriate front axle disengagement. This condition may be due to a corroded transfer
case vacuum actuator switch. To correct this condition a revised switch (P/N 15664811), constructed of noncorrosive stainless steel, should be installed.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
The vacuum switch is located on the left upper side of the transfer case (Figure 1).
1.
Raise the vehicle and support with suitable safety stands.
2.
Remove the vacuum lines from the switch.
3.
Remove the corroded switch from the transfer case.
4.

5.
Connect the vacuum lines.
6.
Lower the vehicle.
7.
Check for oil leaks at the threads and vacuum leaks around the vacuum lines.
