Title: Todays Adventure
Post by: Vern Christy on June 18, 2011, 10:33:09 AM
 Got the Eagle home last night, had it towed down from Oshawa. Put in a new battery, some gas & away it went.
I took the drivers door panel off, to see the problem with it. Usual deal, needs a replacement outer door handle, no Biggie. Started out this am to take it over to local shop for necessary check for safety etc. i had arranged to leave there so they could look at it on Mon. Long story short, it was 1-800 CAA for a tow. Started to develop drive line slippage & let me down.
I will wait until Monday & see what the issue is. Suspect something in Transfer Case. Anyone else run into similar deal? It's an 84 Model year.

Try manually shifting into 2WD and see what happens.

You may be right on.  I had slippage in mine, transfer case had to be rebuilt.

How did you tow it? The drive shafts need to be removed for towing.
