Jeep 4WD System Explained (Tutorial)

[@onemorething2774]

Thanks for the video.One trick a mechanic told me ones in order to go easily into low4wd is to put it in neutral while you push the brake.If it won't get into that mode and is hard ,put it in D and then in N,even a few times quickly and then the gear will smoothly go into low4wd.Sorry for my English.

Thanks for sharing your insights on this. These instructions, and especially the actual demo while driving, completely explained how to use the transfer case efficiently and effectively on our “new” 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited North Edition. Our Jeep does have the 5 position transfer case, and it was especially helpful that you mentioned the difference and included how to maneuver with those trim options. I have to say, I have been driving since 1972, and have owned various kinds of makes and models of foreign and domestic provenance. This Jeep is the first vehicle I’ve owned or driven with a 4WD drivetrain. In the “Dream car” category, our Jeep Wrangler Sahara is the “dream vehicle” I never knew I wanted. Until I got one of my own! (Those “ducks” though… 😮) 😉 😊 🙌🏼

Really helpful explanation! I’m thinking of buying a jeep next month. With test driving, I notice the steering wheel doesn’t automatically return to center when I turn, I have to physically turn the wheel and then turn it back. The dealership said this is because a jeep is a true 4x4. If I used the jeep in 2 wheel drive, do you know if it would fix this?

Just wondering why traction control goes off in 4W part time if you happen to lose traction on a wheel. I'm guessing it won't do much and that's when you use locking diffs.

[@KCars]

If I remember correctly the traction control turns off in 4 low and that’s so if you slip at all it doesn’t cut any power and you can still drive. And yes you can also use locking diffs in 4 low

If you have lockers..

I’m in a rental rubicon hybrid 2024 can I just drive it every day in 4H auto? Down regular roads. Since it’s more power I wanna have the fun. Obv don’t wanna break it. I

[@thinker2328]

I believe so

[@thinker2328]

Auto yes. 4h no

[@pooroothegreat3006]

Pretty sure you live on Fort Drum

I don't get it why there is no central diff. Godd looking car though

[@eliasaggeli1225]

It has no center diff because in "4h auto" it acts as a 2wd (rwd) and it swithes to 4wd ONLY when slippage is detected. So in order to be able and act as 2wd most of the time it must not have a center diff because center diff does not let the car act as 2wd because it always shifts the power to both front and rear axle

[@regnar19881]

It's not 4 HI "part time", it's FULL TIME.

[@iPeter-ky3zs]

The name of it is '4Hi Part Time' it is written on the shifter

Or AWD.
