Hi,

Is the part time 4WD, as found on my 95 Cherokee Sport, for OFF
pavement only or can it be used ON pavement ??

Sorry, but I have no specifics on what transfer case it has, or what
axles (But I do know it has tires that are 2 sizes too big) :(

Otherwise, it has the H.O. 4 Liter and a 3 speed Auto.
Oh, and it has the premium *Jensen* sound system! (LAFF!) ;-)

It's got great acceleration, and a good exhaust note when flooring it!
At the expense of 14 MPG though :/

TIA

....

 

If the tires can't slip, you will break things. Don't use four
wheel drive unless you really need to keep from getting stuck.
God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O

As Bill mentioned the answer is that you should not drive on pavement with
your part time (Select-Trac) engaged.

The reason is that when part time 4 wheel drive is engaged the front and
real axles are locked together and therefore turn at the same speed.

If you were only to drive in a straight line this would be no problem as the
front and rear tires would all be traveling at the same speed.

However, as you recall from driving in the snow or rain, in a turn the tires
stop following two parallel tracks and start following 4 separate tracks and
each track had the tires traveling different distances at different speeds.

This leads to the tires being dragged either in relative acceleration or
deceleration which scrubs the tires and puts additional strain on the
driveline and suspension components.

There is a nice picture that shows the problems at:

Though it covers more than just part-time 4wd, maybe you'll find my
writeup at
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showt...821#post870821
interesting.
