Out of 4wd Hard
I was on the road the other day and decided to shift my 2000 TJ into 4hi at
around 50mph since I haven't used it really since last winter (been a busy year). Well it went in ok but out was hard. So I tried it acouple more time and same thing. What is she trying to tell me? I put 31x10.5 on last dec. with 3.07 gears. but haven't really been in 4wd much since. Could the tire/gear combo cause this? Pete 2kTJ, 4.0 auto, |

Re: Out of 4wd Hard
If you were doing it on pavement it may have something to do with your axles
binding a little. There is nothing built into your transfer case to relieve the pressure that can be caused by your axles turning at slightly different speeds. Try doing the same test on a gravel road.

Re: Out of 4wd Hard
She's trying to tell you to read your owners manual! You should never shift
into 4wd on non-slippery surfaces (like pavement)! You'll break stuff! In addition to that, 50 mph is around the upper limit the transfer case could handle. It's a bit surprising you didn't grenade something. -- Jim 98 TJ SE 90 SJ GW http://www.delawareja.com/gallery/JDJeep98 "Pete" <Pete.Brideau@verizon.net> wrote in message news:tOSeb.19124$541.1590@nwrdny02.gnilink.net... > I was on the road the other day and decided to shift my 2000 TJ into 4hi at > around 50mph since I haven't used it really since last winter (been a busy > year).

Re: Out of 4wd Hard
Your linkage is out in the open under there and likely is full of dirt
or in bad need of a grease job.

Re: Out of 4wd Hard
I should hope 50 wasn't the top end for a shift.
I shift in and out of 4 high at 60+ mph all the time in both of my Jeeps in the winter. And 'both' of my owners manuals say to shift into 4x4 once per month on a straight road to keep everything lubed up and working right.
