4x4 draging

Please repost this in English. Then, maybe someone will be able to help you.

To Tyrone the English lauriette:

STFU and help him out, you damn well knew what he meant!

This sounds like a truck someone took a lift kit off of, and is so badly out of alignment. Maybe it's just out of alignment.

I'd take it to a competent mechanic to have it checked, and if the seller won't allow that, it's better that you pass this deal up.

If you were on dry pavement, in 4wd, and turning, then it would be normal for the wheels to feel like they were binding. Not a good thing to do, by the way. H

Well, I guess you speak his language. Good for you. I had no idea WTF he was talking about. "Draging" "done this". If he spoke English, I would have tried to help him out Asshole.

Well, why didn't he say the drive-line was binding, in the first place? "The wheels are draging." WTF was that?

Enough all ready! If you were that bewildered by the original question MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T be trying to help out here... You seem to be somewhat lacking in basic deductive reasoning...

It is NOT a full time 4WD truck. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT drive it in

4WD on dry pavement. (One reason I will not buy a used 4x4)

If you couldn't understand that simple question, don't even think about getting a job doing tech support. You can't imagine how bad a lot of people are at explaining the problem they are having.

Full time 4WD should only kick in when there is slippage. (eg.wet,snow or mud) If the wheel is dragging try lifting the truck on a hoist and turn the wheels by hand. They should all turn freely. Bad bearings can also cause the wheel to drag. The limited slip should not ingage unless there is slippage. If thats a problem then the axle(s) have to be checked out.

*Important: AWD will be destroyed if ALL tires are not the same dimension. This may apply to Full time 4WD as well. Check tire preasures and insure all are equal. After all the ranting, I hope you are still with us.

Sorry! One more thing. Check the brakes to ensure they aren't sticking or stuck. Sometimes the emergency brake sticks and a PITA to loosen again.

Yeah!

Dass it, tell da bitch Ricky!

LOL

Seems like the majority thinks:

You're the asshole!

Wristwatch Crisco for you tonight! ("Frank Zappa" R.I.P.)

With all due respect:

I drive an 58 Ranger:

Manual transmission, with 258,000 miles on it. I leave the hubs locked all winter long, whether it's dry, wet or snowing. When I slip in a snowy or icy driveway or parking lot, I put it in 4WD to get out and sometimes drive 20 miles to get home. The truck drives and handles fine.

I relate this to two things:

1: It's not an automatic, that a transmission went on, and someone brought it to 6500 RPM to engage it and took the rear byb bye. So the front and rear ratios are matched.

2: The front and rear ratios are matched, the tires are all the same size and all by the same manufacturer.

3: All the fluids are checked religiously at 2500 miles, when the oil is changed and replaced at 25,000 miles.

4: I beat the hell out of it, read above and see how many miles are on it. (Original motor, trans and differentials!)

Look for mismatched tires, an out of spec alignment, or a more than 5% ratio difference from the front to back differentials.

The audacity of someone to comment on someone's english?

If that person were to use a regional vocabulary, and would be of help. Would you have commented as rudely and as offensively as he did?

Thank you for being a gentleman and helping this person. Also, look for a sticking caliper.
