Hello ! Congratulations on your aquisition, have you found the 4wd button on the smaller of the two sticks ? and have you set the smaller stick to 2wd ? Have fun !

Hello. 2nd gen tailgate drops. 3rd gen lifts. Press button on side of small lever to switch 4wd on/off. Its ok to drive a 3rd gen on the road in 4wd. Nasty things will happen if you put a 2nd gen in 4wd on the road.
If your not sure, I can explain exactly what buttons to press and when.

DO NOT drive on road in 4wd unless its a slippy, icy or snow covered surface and only then can you use 4H which is the button on the side of the wee stick.
It is possible to do this up to 40mph but a lower speed would be wiser
P.s Cead mile failte!

What sort of person sells a truck and doesn't tell the new owner how to drive it?
Unless it was bought at auction I suppose.
