Sticky feeling when I moved to 4H mode

hey Guys, I wanted to ask about my 2017 TRD OR. I haven't used my 4H and 4L in the past 7months. I used 2H most of the time. Should I worry on it?

Today, I tried to used it. it feels sticky when I engages to 4H in a slow moving. ( 10-20kph)

 

Welcome. The knob should not feel sticky. But as long as it engages in 4H, I wouldnt sweat it.

 

Thnx buddy. The knob is ok. but when I slow down it feels like its stuck and heavy to run.

 

Just don't use 4WD on dry roads.

 

Try the Armor All Cleaning wipes. They remove soda and sweat pretty well and will make the knob a lot less sticky.

 

I don’t think he’s talking about his knob.

Just when you slow down, or when turning? As azreb mentioned, you shouldn’t drive it on pavement unless you’re going straight. The transfer case isn’t a differential so the power is being distributed evenly to the front and rear axles. This will cause the tires to bind while turning and is bad for the drivetrain if you have sufficient traction.
