4 Wheel drive question.

Dec 21, 2003 27 Replies

I believe the new jeep grand Cherokee Quadradrive has locking differentials in both axels and the transfer case. From the factory.

I want one!

ok so back to the original question... when in 4wd and at a low speed why do i hear a high pitched sound... if everything turns in there normally... something else must be turning or i would not hear the sound.

Also... the exterior hubs.. why dont i just kep them in the lock posision.. whats the difference of locked and auto?

They made this too confusing :)

interesting point.. i am not too concered about the noise.. however i do want to understand more about the way these hubs work>>>

2003 F250 4x4 hubs have "auto" and "lock" selection on the outside of the wheel. Please explain the difference.. the sales man explained it but i thought i got it and i didnt.

In auto i can switch from 2wed to 4wd inside... what is lock for .. he said for plowing .. i dont know why???

i still have the 2wd 4x4 high and 4x4 low switch in the truck.. it is not auto 4x4./... i still dont get it.

Like I said in simple terms.

oh ok i get it now.. thanks!!
