Alright, jeep guys, the 1984 jeep wagoneer dana 44's have drivers side diff's, with vaccume disco, im helping a friend convert his IFS 1998 Ranger, to SOA D44, were explooring our options. He currently has push botton 4wd, with vaccume controll to his IFS Axle, I was wondering if it would be possable to adapt his current Vaccume enguage system to the Jeep dana 44 waggy disco???


Thanx yall...

I suppose you COULD, but why would he want to when he could just get a newer (87+ to be certain) Waggy 44, sans disco, and install some gnarly Warn Premium manual hubs and not have to worry about whether the thing is locked or not...?

It should if you get the hoses oriented right. But, I'm with Jakster...Why??? More to go wrong. You can look to the earlier years of the Grand Waggy too for this axle sans the vacuum diconnect. The wife drove an '82 for years that had a solid long inner shaft aka no disco.

I wouldn't bother with it. The vacuum disco years were only '83 and 84, so any other year (not just 87+) would work.

When I put my D30 wrangler front in, and connected the GM vacuum line (s-10), it didn't work. So either the vacuum thingy was shot, or there wasn't enough vacuum coming from the 231C or something. I'm just going to take it apart and put a cable on it eventually.
