Front axle disconnect
I noticed something about my axle disconnect, it doesn't. At least not in the garage with the engine off and no tires. Turn the pass side hub by hand and the drivesahft turns. The purpose of the disco is to disengage the front driveline, is it not?
If this thing is vacuum operated, is vacuum required to engage it or disengage?
Perhaps this explains my crappy mileage, 13.5 mpg avg hand calculated.
Any idea where I should start troubleshooting?
Thanks.

Does it disengage/engage everytime the key is turned off? Therefore, it requires vacuum to remain disengaged? I am also having lower than expected mileage. Perhaps mine is stuck, too? But wouldn't the front end buck during tight turns on dry pavement, like when I have the T-case engaged in 4x4??
