Re: How to properly engage/disengage the 4WD system ?

bigmike ..

thanks for the tutorial ..

im glad i got an answer to the one thing i was most concerned about -- driving around in town with the front wheel hubs locked either in 2WD or 4WD mode ..

since i live in a freaking small town in KY without a freeway and a max. speed limit of 45mph,  i just wanted to keep my front hubs locked for the entire winter until March 05 just coz i can engage 4WD "on demand" without having to get out ..

but if im going to hit the freeway under dry conditions and am sure i odnt need the 4WD then ill keep em unlocked ..

also, ur right, i noticed the steering was just a lil bit harder and i felt i was a lil bit down on power when i had my front hubs locked in 2WD mode and the steering/power differences were even more evident in H4WD .. ive had no reason to use the L4WD yet but im hitting my friends farm this weekend and hope it rains bad !!

thanks again buddy ..
