Another educational video. I have a 1998 Dodge ram a bought brand new back in the day and want to keep it going because new vehicles you seem to need a PHD to fix them.

[@tallpaul9475]

Still amazes me, someone that doesn't live where it snows, how much rust on newer vehicles is acquired in such a short amount of time.

[@juandamin8137]

easy to understand, very good explanation👍👍

[@martymcfly3986]

another amazing video. thank you

[@estudiom142]

Amazing!

[@HanifEFIMechanical]

Good job

[@adventureswithbradley9768]

I was always told that for high is 45 miles an hour 4lo is at 0 miles an hour to 15 to 20 now that I know 10 miles an hour will not stress on the transmission that is good to know

[@dkemp1337]

thank you i have a 1994 silverado and in winter it sometimes would not want to leave gear i would have to go up then back down then it would leave 4x4 it has the j shifter style but also has an electric switch. the other day i felt some binding on a turn and got scared i might be having some issues again

[@robsdeviceunknown]

dang man, where you guys get that rust bucket? I have a 01 ram 4x4 and not a spec of rust under it like that. but mine has stayed in GA. I get weird wobble like you get in 2wd while in 4wd. Its my first 4wd vehicle so not sure if that was how it was supposed to be or not.

[@aakashchheda8688]

But what's the solution for this?

[@alcopone104]

Liked and subscribed

[@keenowl1410]

Great. Channel.

[@MarioAlzaga]

I have some issues with my old 1995 4runner, when I try to make a sharp turn is really hard, I need to remove the 4x4 to be able to turn, everybody tells me is normal, but I have my thoughts

[@Noone-rt6pw]

So, the main driveshaft can be removed, 4 wd activated and youd have front wheel drive. Or is there a reason why not? But if universals need to be changed but not affordable, disconnect drive shaft and drive front wheel drive. Then itd allow some wear that can even out to catch up for miles put on rear wheels.

[@codyschwoch5451]

I just got to say the four-wheel-drive on that truck is not what you gotta worry about. It’s fixing the frame because the bed should not go up and down when you’re driving unless you’re frame is bent or cracked or rotted out

[@user-wn3ui3fc6n]

I have a 1997 chevy k1500 n when it's 4x4 going down a road the steering is all over n wants to slide

[@Lencho327]

Can you make a video on which way the center hubs lock ? I have a 2000 excursion and the letters faded away. I don't know which side is to lock and which is to release. Thank you great video.

[@2Graydon2]

What if I hear the actuator engage and disengage but I stay in 4 wheel drive?

[@peterbenson3776]

Vacuum disengage on front axle .,

[@DavidHansen-ww4zj]

I'm stuck in four-wheel drive I don't know how to take it off I don't know what to do I have to get to work please help

[@1AAuto]

+@DavidHansen-ww4zj We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
