| Post subject: | Newbie: 4X4 engaging |
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! |
