A friend of mine has a 2002 F150 Supercrew 4x4 and he recently wrecked it. He broke the front right wheel off and pulled the axle shaft out. I figured it would be easier to get on at a salvage yard than to rebuild it. The question they asked me was if it has a vacuum disconnect. I have no idea on how to tell. I know it has the switch on the dash like my 97 F150. Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

the vacuum disconnect is for actuating the level to engage the front diff anyways does he have ifs up front and are you just talking about the cv axle by any chance cause then it shouldn't matter as far as the vac line they are asking about

 

He needs a cv axle and the whole axle assembly

 

ok does he have a stick or a **** you twist to engage the 4wd if its the **** you'll need the one for the vac line if its the stick you won't need any vac line hookups hope that helps

 

his has the switch on the dash
so if i read correctly it is the one with the vacuum disconnect?

 

Negative. You need the vac line with a manual shift as well

 

yes

 

thanks for chiming in i didn't know that

 

so whats the best way to find out

 

consult a repair manual like chiltons or a haynes i like chiltons better cause they have better illisrtations but from the info i just learned you need the vac line no matter what
