The guy who put the dif back together told me to put it in high and drive it, then put in 2 wheel drive. It worked, apparently because it had been stood a while, he said the fluid had to have time to work. I really don't know, but it works fine now.
It's a 92 4.0 6 cyl. It definitely drove in 2 wheel drive before the axle broke. When I initially broke the axle, I could only get it to run after I engaged the 4x4.
I recently broke and replaced the rear passenger side axle. When I removed the dif cover, the only thing loose in there was the clip. Everything else was intact. The thing is that now it's been put back together I find it will only drive when 4x4 is engaged. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
