Ok.. I realise that the 92 XJ's did away with the vacuum disconnect system to engage the front axle when shifting into 4wd. I am wondering what system took its place? Is the axle always engaged? Does the front axle now act like a normal axle with the hubs locked all the time? The reason I am asking is that my XJ takes a bit of time to go into 4wd after shifting the xfer-case lever into either part time or full time 4wd modes and I want to know why. If the axle was always engaged (ie: hubs always locked like on a normal 4x4 axle) then wouldn't the 4wd engagement be instantaneous?
