[@talibmohammed9797]

Amazing video buddy, we have seen so many TRX having the same transfer case issue here in Liwa desert and had to tow them out. The reason for that is leaving the car in 4wd auto while driving in the sand or in your case snow, what the car does in that case is constantly change from 4H to 4L which literally cooks the transfer case until it's completely destroyed. The solution for this is to put the car in 4H when driving on rough surfaces like sand or snow so it doesn't cook the transfer case, bottom line just never leave it in 4wd auto when offroading that's the reason for this. Wish you all the best buddy take care and keep making such cool content

The week can’t be bad when Sunday ends with an Schäfchen video

Mani needs a Gefahrenzulage for TRX Videos. Probably one of the most dangerous jobs out there.

Die Idee mit der Display schutzfolie über dem Tacho ist echt ne gute Idee dann hat der Cutter nicht so viel Arbeit

[@schaefchen]

Genius ja👀

[@lutzgehtdichnichtsan6543]

die kupplung im transfercase hat wahrscheinlich vorspannung und durch das RWD modul nutzten sich die kupplungsscheiben stark ab, weil die vorderräder permanent eine andere drehzahl als die hinterräder haben

[@stocki_esy625]

maschinenbau student hier. wär auch meine vermutung. auch wenn die kupplung offen ist, reiben die beläge leicht. Man kann alles so auslegen, dass das Getriebe das mit macht. Dodge hat sich dafür entschieden das Getriebe nicht darauf auszulegen, und deswegen den Allrad permanent gemacht. Wenn man dann halt viel RWD Fährt mit dem modul, ist die Beanspruchung halt zu hoch. Würd also sagen, die Kupplung ist nicht durch das im Schnee fahren kaputt geworden, sondern war davor schon mehr oder weniger am Ende ihres Lebens

[@fabi_v6746]

Kenne ich auch so. Wenn zu viel im RWD mit hohen Drehzahldifferenzen gefahren wird wie beim driften dann Überhitzt der Antrieb an der Kupplung. Wird dazu führen das die Kupplungen verschleißen oder verglasen und dann im AWD Modus durch rutschen bis sie überhitzen. Klar dass das Steuergerät dann auf macht. Für Offroad und Schnee ist die Kupplung wahrscheinlich hin

[@gen1c8rs88]

What about being worn out from dry road surface doughnuts(burn outs) and drifting, as well as not replacing the differental fliud soon enough given the elevated level of stress. Also maybe a cooler, circulation pump, filter and fluid upgrade is needed.

[@Kytes93]

despite that the car in the front was fine. I think it had defect pump and couldn't press the clutches properly, resulting in fast wornout

[@malin01s47]

Scheiß drauf, ersetzen und weiter Spaß haben

Even though most of your videos somehow end up costing you quite some money, you´re living the life every car guy (atleast speaking for me) can only admire to have... I´m really happy I found your chanel, as your videos somehow always get me into a better / happier headspace.

You guys are actually driving the sh!t out of it very impressive I would be concerned about body damage you probably already know this but drop tire pressure a bit helps a lot!

Im used to it lol

[@24_lollo10]

You should take a trip to sweden and make an event with old volvos to drift in the snow while its still here in the entire country. Old volvo + snow = perfect match! Love the vids btw keep it up!

[@raph_qc1749]

Gotta do it

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Schaefchen the reason your transfer case went out is due to the Tazer, I highly recommend removing it from now on. The TRX transfer case clutches are not designed to send 100% of power to the rear wheels, but the Tazer tries overriding this and you end up with still 5-10% clutch contact and this burns up the clutch pack. This won't happen in a stock TRX without Tazer. I speak from experience, as I had the same issue in my TRX with Tazer RWD mode. The new transfer case has been 100% good without the Tazer installed.

[@schaefchen]

Thanks you man!

[@CatchMeOffroad]

@@schaefchen Thanks for providing top quality content and entertainment! 🙌🏽💪🏽

[@rootsmanuva82]

The RAM TRX is probably the most badass and all-around capable vehicle ever made. I'd argue its also the best vehicle ever for creating content on KZbin. Drag racing, mud-running, dirt jumping, off-roading, snow drifting... pick any theme and it will genuinely entertain.

[@bastie2396]

Happy new (broken car parts) year! It wouldn't be a Schaefchen video without something breaking :D

[@stocki_esy625]

Maschinenbau Student hier. Bin relativ sicher, dass das Getriebe durch das RWD Modul schon vorm Schnee mehr oder weniger am Ende war. Die Kupplungen sind nicht darauf ausgelegt so hohe Drehzahl differenzen auszugleichen, welche beim RWD driften eben auftreten. (weswegen dodge ja auch keinen RWD Modus anbietet) Im Schnee, das war nur der Todesstoß (niedrige Geschwindigkeit, damit hohes Drehmoment) Vielleicht gibts die Möglichkeit die Halbachsen vorne, oder die Kardan nach vorne auszubauen, wenn du RWD fahren willst, damit die Kupplungen nicht wieder wegbrennen. Mega Video wie Immer! Lg. aus NÖ

[@schaefchen]

Hab vorne die halbachsen ausgebaut gehabt im sommer :)

[@stocki_esy625]

@@schaefchen kommt jetzt auf den genauen aufbau vom getriebe an. Kann auch sein, dass dadurch die kupplung schon überlastet war. Jedenfalls war die situation im schnee ned des grundliegende problem

[@MennoProductions]

If you have more tire wear on the rear form drifting and then engage the AWD system, the transfer case has to compensate more which introduces more heat and wear. Hence why you have 4 off the same tire sises on AWD cars :)

[@PBRatLord]

Not only that, but donuts on full lock with the locker engaged is literally just asking to break stuff lol. I know built four-by systems that would puke their guts if there was even a bit more traction there.

[@tallll70]

@@PBRatLord The transfer case has wet clutch 4 Auto for that besides 4H 4L and 2wd, assuming it was in Auto... Also they had some defected Transfer Cases with spring causing binding and overheating which this could have been one of them

[@Euromasterrace5000]

I love this channel. No hate in the comments, just the real carguys coming together.

[@PlayGroundCars]

Don’t blame the truck. It was your stupid taxer DT you have. I had the same issue when I use forced rear wheel drive option on that, if you would’ve never plugged that thing in that truck would’ve performed well through that snow the whole time

[@sayoriuo]

perfekte Idee Schaefchen😂. sehr geil zusehen wie alle spass haben. du machst genau denn Content denn wir alle sehen wollen🔥. sehr geil das der denn gleichen Motor wie der hellcat bekommen hat, darum eine sehr geile Sound Kulisse. die hupe ist ja mal richtig geil. es sieht so geil aus wenn du mit dem Dodge im Schnee querfährst. schaefchen ist aber auch wirklich ein guter Fahrer🔥. so wunderschön. aber immer hin weiss man warum es so komisch war zum fahren und warum er immer in Heckantrieb gewechselt hat, hat ja auch was positives. sehr gutes Video🔥. gerne mehr davon❤.

[@03TorchRedMach1]

As cool as it is to do donuts I think those modules that make your truck rear wheel drive messes up the transfer case. Same thing happens to the trackhawks! Not hating at all I would do the same thing. Such a cool video! Love the snow drifting videos! Your country is beautiful!

[@schaefchen]

Yeah probably. Thanks man!

[@MSA_CS40]

The only time I look forward to a Sunday is when sheepman uploads. Thank you for all the content. Hope this year you are blessed with even more.

[@5ShotProductions]

The supercharger whining a song of pure joy and excitement 🥴😍 God, it won’t get any better watching you two guys having a blast in the snow 🙏 How long will the TRX be stock when it comes to the power? 😛 Thx for the great video, I had so much fun watching it and enjoying the sound with my new way too expensive headphones 🫣🥴 Best wishes, as always, to both of you and best regards from Bavaria, Philipp 👋

[@schaefchen]

If it starts working normally maybe i think about giving it more power lol

[@5ShotProductions]

@@schaefchen 🥴 But this is one thing I do not understand: This truck probably was tested really tough in the States but I assume, they never tested this car in snowy conditions. Cause what you did with your TRX was pretty much nothing, don’t get me wrong. Of course you had a lot of fun with it but holy smokes, this car was built to have fun with. I did similar things in the late 90s with my 1994 V20 Mitsubishi Pajero 2500TD and this car worked properly from the beginning till I had enough of goofing around. Has your dealer submitted a goodwill request?? Best wishes, Philipp

[@coffelt683]

A guy previously commented that in these trucks, when they are in 4wd auto mode, switch between 4hi and 4low constantly which burns the transfer case out faster. I imagine in snow it constantly switches even more than on dirt. So setting it to 4hi should solve the issue which makes sense. @@5ShotProductions

To fix the lack of weigth in the back you should add something to the bed, a couple bags of sand or watever you have to weigh it wodn a little wich will help a lot with traction.

[@CenkerCanCNKY]

Wenn die Auto's ein video ohne defekt überstehen, solltest du ein "Schäfchen Siegel" drauf klatschen 🖤🖤😎😁😂🤣

The tazer that you use to make it rwd is what fried your transfer case. It happens with hawks/trx's

So krass die zwei Urzeit Apex Predator im Schnee zu sehen! So unterhaltsam es auch ist, wenn was kaputt geht, die Videos sind auch so schon krass genug, da muss nix kaputt gehen!!!! (Bitte Universum, ich möchte kein React Schäfchen lul) Könnte das RWD Modul etwas damit zu tun haben, dass sich das Teil vorne so torpediert hat? Also dass es die ganze Zeit Schaden genommen hat und halt jetzt den Geist aufgegeben hat? Kein Plan wie das Modul funktioniert, aber ist halt so mein Gedankengang. Nicht Originals Modul um mit dem AWD System zu spielen. AWD System macht Probleme. Modul? Ich hoffe die Teile kommen bald, freue mich auf Teil 2!

Awesome Video! Finally someone who really used it ina real life situation not just asa show piece. Dodge should pay you for some of your footage to advertise the TRX cuz those snow clips of sliding through the mountains were heavenly. You also found a flaw in its design, the transfer case. Dodge should thank you for that and if anything fix it for free and sponsor you cuz this video was seriously awesome. Cheers from the states, stay safe n have fun 🙏❤️🤍💙✌️

When drifting with North American cars turn off traction control! As said below, if drifting extra cooling is required for trans case and rear diff also. Add circuit to pump to remote filter and cool.

I have a 2013 ram. It does this. The transfer case has clutches that prevent 4wd wind up. If I turn. The front stops pulling and the rear spins. Until i hit the gas. It's a dumb system. Once the transfer case goes out. I'm getting the bw 44-45 transfer case which has a chain. I have the the bw 44-44 which has the clutches

[@juvg.luca15]

Brother, if you had a Patrol with an M57 BMW engine, it would be great😂😂

[@m_goproofficial8937]

Wenn man mit so hohem Wheel Speed driftet und die Kupplung tatsächlich zwischen vorne und hinten regelt, dann erklärt das den defekt vielleicht. Das wäre dann ähnlich wie wenn man mit 8000rpm anfährt und die Kupplung bei einem Schalter schleifen lässt 😂

Get a 2005 stock ram 1500 5.7 , add near to be overused snow tire and try it in snow , owned around 8 truck in the last 4 years . And this one by far the one that impressed me the most in snow . Blew it water crossing in spring.

[@turtle1582]

always good day when schaefchen posts

[@alcaliz]

I think it’s because of the tazer. It’s not supposed to be rwd and you drive in rwd a bunch. The transfer case may not be getting the kubrication it needs

[@NYPrepper]

If you kept it in 4WD the whole time you would be fine. The Auto 4WD system constantly going in and out of 2wd burned it out.

[@andrewbeckley728]

Nice, reminds me of doing the same in my land rover defender xs

[@BluueFSD]

The transfercase breaking down was likely a buildup of torture, the snow drifting was likely not the reason, but the buildup of metal in the oil must have been asting like a ticking bomb for a while and the high torque sent in the case even with low friction brought it to it's doom 😏😏

[@ghassang2074]

[@alexanderabboud4691]

The problem was most likely the module he used to disable AWD and make it rear wheel drive only. Same thing happens to track hawks when you use thos module. It's only meant to be in awd
