It's a five minute video that starts out pretty informative and straightforward BUT about half way thru it...it...gets very detailed to put it nicely Smile

Real 4WD vehicles have transfer cases with their own shifter.

The narrator is obviously Canadian, eh.

I wish my truck had a neutral position on the ESF transfer case.

I was in the market for a used Tahoe last year. Wound up buying a 2010. I was surprised by the number of vehicles that only had a 1 speed transfer case (no 4 Lo option). Probably less than 50% had a 2 speed transfer case.

In some states you may have to have a 4x4 endorsement on your drivers license before you can buy a 4x4 vehicle! Big Grin

I used to have a transmission shop. If it wasn't for the 4WD vehicles I would have been out of business in a month. Now, with the computer controlled transmission systems the average ticket price is at least double what it was when I was in the business....Keep it coming these things just make the technicians and businesses more money.

LOL. Big Grin
At least if you learn how to do it correctly, it might keep it out of your transmission shop.

I have an older Tahoe and the 4WD still works fine... but I usually only engage the 4WD auto selection and I do it when the vehicle is stopped.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

The narrator is missing his emotion "on" button.

I was waiting for the missing "beep" to turn the page.

That was great!

I have always been baffled as to how and when to shift into and out of 4WD.
