Let the wife drive my liberty in the snow. She put it in 4WD HI to get through in plowed side roads. She forgot to take it out when she hit dry pavement. She drive it like 15 miles in HI should I be worried
What do you mean entry level ??Dave_B said:I drove back home from Chicago in 4 wd. (Live in Minneapolis). That's why you don't buy a entry level drive system. Dave
What year is your KKlfhoward said:If you can't feel any driveline symptoms, you are probably just fine. It is a pretty tough 4WD system and it can take it when this happens occasionally. I drove from Chicago to Detroit on Snowy/Icy/Wet roads that were unpredictable and you couldn't tell what was ice and what was just wet or snow until you hit it. I'm sure the wet pavement gave me nearly as good traction as dry pavement with my new Duratracs, but the ice made it worth having 4WD on for nearly the whole trip. I saw dozens of cars in the ditch and three jackknifed semi's that night. The Jeep was just fine and handled amazingly, although I had to keep on my toes for that ice. No problems with 4WD binding at all, even though I surely logged many miles with only wet pavement. I have Command Trac.
Lol your right I've seen it many times in retail customers returning things that clearly broke by their misuse. However I think I dodged a bullet drove her today in the snow tested it out no signs of any problems. I also called 3 different dealerships spoke to 3 different techs that told me not to worry about ittommudd said:Why should warranty cover it?
I guess too many times I still put my old Service Managers hat on and think of the folks who tried to pull one on the dealership where I worked. A warranty should be something covered that was a manufacturing mistake, not one made by the consumer .
Exactly! Good knowledge and good tires. Can't completely relate (I wasn't even alive in the 60's and hardly even the 70's). Ha ha, sorry Tom had to throw that jab!tommudd said:Good tires is what everyone needs to install, even with 6-8 inches of snow on the roads I hardly ever use 4 wheel drive. Its simply not needed. But then I was taught how to drive in slippery conditions back in the late 60-early 70s before all the new fandangled electronics were installed.
That would be in a KJ. A KK with Select-trac has 2wd, n, 4wd auto and 4wd low.With the Select-trac, and the other systems that allow a choice of 2wd, 4wd part time and full time
I do have a question about command track and select track. Owning a command track Lib I have 2hi,N,4hi,4lo. Does select track have 2hi, N,4hi,4lo and auto?
