I have a 1979 CJ7 and it will not engage in 4wheel drive. I have replaced the Transfer Case chain and cannot figure out what to do next....any ideas? thanks
Also, forgive the "not meant to be" insulting question..., Did you lock in the front hubs?
Could be in the Transfer Case , Driveshaft, or Front Diff...
So what i would do is put the t case in 4x4, but unlock the hubs (so they are free and forward momentum does not cause the drive shaft to turn), and either on jacks or have a buddy watch front drive shaft (without running him over ) and see if it turns... If so, prob in the front diff.
Note if you put on jackstands, you can lock the hubs to check whole system.
Other Ideas: Maybe the shift lever linkage?
You said you just changed the chain I believe, forgive another not meant to be insulting question, sure you got everything back together right? Never done one myself, so not sure how involved / deep in there it is...
