1974 M52-A1 Front Axle

The front Axel on my 1974 Kaiser M52-A1 will not stay engaged. I can hear the air when shifting into 1st gear, but after moving ahead for a few feet, the front Axel no longer turns. Any ideas?

Have you pulled the air piston on the Tcase apart to make sure it is functioning? Thats where I'd start.

Thanks, I will check it.

f all air acuated parts are working, drain transfer case, refill with kerosene and drive for a while. Maybe 2 weeks, then drain and refill with gear oil. This cleans a sticky sprag unit and often fixes problems. JT
