Dtrain combos to = awd in a p1800
I realize this is an engine forum, and this thread might belong in drivetrain. Idk. Anyway, I'm hoping to one day put my d24t in my P1800. That being said, that's not all I want to do. I really want an AWD setup, preferably a RWD/AWD interchangeable setup. Something like my Jeep comanche. It's got an NP242, which has both 4x4 hi and low, 2x4, and full-time 4x4 (which can be like AWD). Perhaps I should just rip off an eagle with the front-axle disconnect. Hmmm. Anyone have any valid thoughts? And please, if you don't like the idea, keep it to yourself.

The CAD sytem is too much of a problematic POS to warrant grafting to a non native vehicle.
Stick with the Jensen heritage, and use FF Interceptor drivetrain. |

The CAD is annoying...when it's driven by vacuum. However, replacing it with a simple pull-lever, or making a pneumatic switch, or even doing an electronic push-button solenoid makes it not so problematic. Besides, not many Jensens lying around here lol. Much, much easier to find an AMC. Besides, I like solid axles. Wait a sec, is the d24 a forward oil sump or a rearward?

regardless of actuator mode, it doesn't play nice with traction aides that cost less then $1000, and the little plasic bearing and pads still wear out so it can demolish its hard parts. I'd skip it, and spin the front shaft all the time.

Duh lol. The pic. What about the early ones they made without the CAD? Still say no?

Apparently they were IFS too. No solid axle. Guess I'm okay with that on a passenger car.

You can get a Dana 30 without the disconnect in XJs and YJs of early 90s and newer, it might be late 80s. Run it as your front axle, mileage suffers but it's simpler.
