Very Worried

[MattF]

I quite agree with you however much people plead, they aint getting behind the wheel of my truck

Too right. Top bloke. It's like when people say how much they'd love to have
a drive in the Surf. Over my dead body.

[Gizmo]

jack up the truck at, believe you should see the wheel move 'unwind' as such

[TonyN]

If it switched out of 4wd OK, and doesn't make any funny noises it'll be OK. Outer CV's are the weak point, these will normally explode before anything else goes wrong, and wear on the rest of the drivetrain will be negligable after only one trip.

Is this a 2nd Gen? Am doing things wrong in my 3rd Gen, I thought driving it in 4wd was ok? As long as you were in the correct 4wd mode?

[POPEYE]

Think you can do that in 3rd gens, dont they have a forward slip diff?
I drove from havant to portsmouth (about 5-6 miles) in 4 wheel drive (high) without knowing it, had the dash out so no light, did'nt notice till i got in the car park and the steering wheel started fighting me, just went home in reverse and sorted it

[Ace Piker]

Is this just a wind up, how can driving in reverse sort it?

Yeah sorry it's a wind up (or should i say an unwind up) I got away with it as there wer't too many tight bends till i got in the car park, mainly straight driveing,

[Wild Thing]

can i have a go of your truck gary ???

Ok Dave for you I'll make an exception as long as I can use your vast assortment of camping equipment and you promise to put luminous guy ropes on your kite lmao

You're probably right even if its only to park his truck in so it does'nt get dirty lol

Your OK, as long as the little diff light isn't lit, you have a diff in the tranfer case so it can drive both ends without screwing up the drive train. When you pull the 4wd lever back to H4L then you are the same as a 2nd gen and will get tranny windup.

And yes, reversing often helps if it won't come out of 4wd, as all the splines and collers often get jammed, and going backwards unlocks them.



Oh, I need to ring you as well!!!!

[Ace Piker]

Thanx Tony. BTW have had the respray done now so she looks Pukka!

Cool, I noticed all the removed paint from the plastic door trims!!

[Gazbo]

I have heard of diff wind up while driving in Low Ratio, but not High? Dont matter what 4x4 as long as it is not in diff lock. Obviously avoid tight bends!
I also read that it is advised to drive in 4-wheel mode every now and then to lubricate the system.
So come folks, what is the correct way to go. Does anyone have a manual for the 2nd gen?

[dave.j.robbo]

Dont matter what 4x4 as long as it is not in diff lock.

And therin lies the problem with our 2nd Gen's.

With no centre diff, we're effectively in diff lock all the time we're in 4WD.
