4 by 4 issue

When I'm in 4 high and make a sharper turn, the wheels seem to skip over, its not smooth, its slight but noticeable- Is my 4 by 4 going or is that just the way it drives? Thanks for anny tips!

Re: 4 by 4 issue

Sounds normal to me if your not on a slick enough surface. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Sounds normal to me also. Even on snow or ice it will do that. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 4 by 4 issue

That is the only time it should do it. When the hubs are engaged and the truck is in 4x

Re: 4 by 4 issue

Mine does that when on a hard surface as well. No worries.
