Re: Cherokee transfer case forks broken
I forgot to mention, even if you have a F/T system, it has a P/T settiing.
If you happened to be in the P/T mode, then you will have the problems you are having. <bcoker@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1102541781.243303.269940@c13g2000cwb.googlegr oups.com... > The bumps were usually mild, but they did vary.

Re: Cherokee transfer case forks broken
100Kmh is 62Mph, but 80Mph in 4WD???? IMO 100Kmh is too fast for 4WD!
You guys are nuts!! If road conditions are such that you feel you need to be in 4WD, why on earth would you be driving that fast? Even if you have red or blue lights flashing and are responding to a distress call, the law doesn't permit you to drive at 80Mph -in most parts of the US- although I hear that out west there are places that post "reasonable and customary" type speed limits with reduced speed in poor conditions. I don't mean to sound harsh, but I hope to hell I'm never on the same stretch of road as you when you're driving that fast in 4WD unless your vehichle is full time 4WD. For the newbie that was driving at 80 - PLEASE remember that 4WD will get you in to trouble TWICE as fast as 2WD in many, many situations, escpecially ice! Take it easy.
