4x4 problems

i completely agree with you. that is what i also do. what i meant was that if, for example, and i guess the only example, the pavement is snowy/icy and you feel you need 4x4 then it wont hurt having it engaged in a turn. unless its sharp then you will probably oversteer and possibly cause an accident.

shit. more people posted. i was talking to oswego

 

Manual says to do just that 10 miles every month. Of course make sure to pop it into 2h before hitting any corners or parking.

 

I was having issues with my 02 last night as well. I engaged 4x for a minutes just to cycle the fluids. I drove in a straight line for about 20 meters, and my drive line sounded horrible. There was a constant chirping in the tires, and a strange growling noise in the drivetrain. I thought about the dry pavement thing, but to my knowledge, this was only a factor when you are turning, as you stated above. After the fluids ran for about 25 minutes, I backed the truck in reverse about 6 meters, and the light turned off for the 4x. I was slightly concerned about the 4x not disengaging, but more concerned with the noises in the drive train. Any thoughts?

 

who is this oswego you speak of???
