Apart from getting her running (mission accomplished thanks to your help), I'm working on figuring out why in the **** 4WD won't engage. I set the hubs, move the selector to 4L (which doesn't completely line up with the indicator on the lever), 4WD lights up on the dash, I get excited, pull into my side-yard and freaking get stuck. Here comes the neighbors Grand Cherokee to the rescue. Grrrrrr.

A symptom that I did notice is, when I went to pull through the mud, she stalled out easier when in 4WD. My father said the wheels weren't spinning up front. I am concerned to say the least. It is currently too wet to crawl underneath and check if the shaft spins and whether or not it is engaging well. Do these CUCVs have something simple I'm overlooking that could be the culprit? Darn.
