Among other things, look for "check engine light".
thanks

The easiest problem could be a leaking vacuum hose. The solenoid can be repaired or replaced (or bypassed into permanent 4wd mode) if necessary.
Question - does your "4WD" light illuminate when you shift into 4wd?
IIRC, there was some discussion about this issue on the main Wrangler board.
Good Luck
The 87 YJ has a vacuum actuated setup in front to get 4wd going, and that is about all I know about it. It SOUNDS like it is working, but it sounds like you need to do a service on your transfer case. I think your son fried it.

Have it attended to immediately!
Consider that sentence to be repeated several times.
Steering failure could lead to a substantial reduction in your quality of life.
Consider a V8 swap. I know of at least 4 people who have put in V8's and are getting in the mid 20's for mileage vs the teens for the 4cyl and 6cyl. Each of the engine swaps was a small block chevy V8 (in one case an LS1 engine) and only 1 was a hemi.
I've seen a Canadian firm doing diesel swaps and even Extreme 4x4's TV show did a diesel swap (in a Samurai) and run veggie oil waste. There are options.

I am searching for an owners manual first off.
Was the 3 speed manual transmission original?
Was the strait 6 cylinder the original as well?
I am looking to restore the jeep to as close to factory specs as possible. I am also looking for gauges several are out or non-working as well as some some I can't tell what they ever did.
any help?
Thanks,
Mark

Depending on what you want to do, here are some vendors to consider:
www.dpgoffroad.com (Kansas)
www.northridge4x4.com (Washington State)
www.4x4groupbuy.com (Maine/Arizona)
www.4x4rockshop.com (Alabama)
www.redrock4x4.com (Colorado)
www.offroadtoystore.com (Colorado)
If you want to go specifically to a manufacturer, many sell direct as well.
I've used all the above and had ZERO complaints with any of them.

There are two complete harnesses on eBay at the moment by the same seller for $150 each.
Auction One
Auction Two
Another solution would be a car breakers.
