You should probably change out your summer air to winter air if you are gonna be in 4x4 all the time. Your tires will wear better.

And don't forget the 710 fluid.

My dealer didn't list this on the last service. I'll have to give them a call to see if they did it.

Is 710 available at my local Autozone?

 

[slurpee3]

Ok, Ok, Ok. Got it! But, how about if driving in 4x4 all the time and the 4x4 system breaks within the warranty timeframe, will it be covered? If so, it might be a good idea for some of the owners that regret buying the XD 4x4. Just a thought though.

You do realize even if they did honor the warranty the don't replace the ENTIRE vehicle is something goes wrong. They would just fix the 4wd part(s) that broke and move on.

If you have buyer's remorse, maybe take it to Mexico for parts and see if you can claim it stolen? :S-A-Smack:

Now I am trying to figure why you would want to drive it in 4wd all the time, There is no advantage to 4wd on dry, roads with good traction???
Part time is fine with me, boat ramp, or steep slow pulls from a campground, mud, ice and snow is all I need it for.

Clearly stated...because he wants to.


I tried to find out too (lol)

I belive the front diff is also geared lower than the rear. That is so you don't get the the sea porpose effect while your driving. Lol this guy. I the he's trolling and starting ****. Most of the front different are geared that way. And 62mph is laughable. If that was the case I'd all my trucks would have blown diffs I the first week of winter.

 

[Jtp]

I do not know much about 4wd, but it seems to me that if I can drive 62mph, on a road, then I do not need to be in 4x4 anyway.
But i do not tend to drive very fast on slick roads anyway.

Ive gone into 4hi at at 75-80 mph when the roads went from dry to a sheet of ice, never had any problems but I did slowly get down to a more reasonable/safe speed all the while in 4hi.

Driving 75-80 on ice? Why?

 

[WYXD]

If you read closer, the roads were dry, hence the reason I was driving 75-80. All I was saying, even though the book recommends no faster than 62 mph, it can be done at a higher speed.

Other way around. The front was traditionally geared higher than the rear, so it spun faster and helped with tracking. Newer 4x4's often run matched gears now, probably due to idiots.

 

[AZPRO4X]

The front & rear gears are the same ratio & always have been on 4WD systems.

I always drive in 4x4 when it's raining and usually at 70 MPH. Engine break is great in 4x4 mode on slippery roads. So far there is no break down or problems with the 4x4 system. I just clocked 10k miles. And, if it breaks, the warranty will fix it with new parts. Win Win all around!

Not really a win. Costs you more fuel & unnecessary warranty costs ends up costing everyone. Your truck isn't AWD & running in 4wd won't help you stop any quicker.

Costing everyone? What is that supposed to mean AZPRO4X? Is this some kinda Obama care sort of expense? :grin2:

Seems quite excessive to me, but to each his own i guess....

No, its simple economics that were taught in grade school. :grin2:

 

[ruquik1]

So, 4x4 is there for what? Not to be used at all? And, if you ever used it off-road will the Drivetrain blow-up? Let's say you use your truck for off-road only and drive it in 4x4 all the time?

you need to own a car man take the truck back immediately if we have to explain why you don't use 4 wheel drive on dry pavement

 

[Sellitwv]

This Dude is just BSing the forum. This truck isn't even fun to drive in 4wd high on dry streets... you can definitely tell the way the front wheels are rolling that you are locked in to 4wd and it isn't pleasurable. I think scorpy hacked the real OP...
