I was out on the streets of SA today and it started pouring. I decided to put it in 4X4 hi. After a while, I pulled over to fill up and decided I would see how to get it into 4X4 lo - it didn't work.

I have only had the Jeep for a month or so (company car), so I haven't had the opportunity to use the 4X4. I finally got it into Lo, but then couldn't get it back to 2wd or 4X4 Hi unless I stopped the vehicle and turned it off completely.

What am I doing wrong - or - do I need to get it checked?

Thanks.

Ok, I'm an idiot. I found the answer through hours (okay, minutes) of searching via Google.

"The Command-Trac transfer case allows the selection of four shift positions:

* Transfer Case Shift Lever Positions – 2Hi;4Hi;Neutral;4Lo
* Two-wheel drive (2WD) – for normal driving
* Part-time four-wheel-drive high range (4H) – for use on slippery or loose surfaces only; this position can be shifted on-the-fly at speeds up to 55 mph (88.5 kph)
* Neutral – allows the vehicle to be towed behind another vehicle
"
* Part-time four-wheel-drive low range (4L) – for temporary use when added low-speed pulling power or greater torque (for off-road driving) is desired (not intended for normal driving); 4L is engaged by slowing the vehicle to 2-3 mph (3-5 kph) without stopping, shifting the transmission into neutral, then shifting the transfer case lever firmly to 4L (a momentary release of the accelerator pedal may expedite the shift)."

Yeah.

It's good to engage 4L every once in a while (if you don't use it like your s'pose to! off roading!), just don't drive with it.

But I did that too. I was just checking out the lever and got it in 4L and couldn't get it out. Then it hit me: Neutral!

Greets SoTex! Need to be nearly stopped and put tranny in Neutral before going into 4 lo. I thought I'd provide a link:
Click on Selec-Trac or Command-Trac

By the way I miss the food at Sonny Bryans; there is only subpar BBQ in California!

Welcome SoTex! Stop by the Lone Star section and intorduce yourself. We've got a couple events coming up it would be great if you could come.
