Is She On All Fours ???

I installed my new front drive shaft tonight and tried it out on the road I don't think all four are grabing? I can not feel any difference in the wheel when if 4wd. I don't think it's that smooth in 4wd Even in my 07 Yota I can tell when it's in 4wd.

So heres what I did but am at a loss

Put Transfer in -N- unlocked hubs by hand I could turn Front Shaft
Locked Hubs Transfer in -N- could not turn Shaft "Hubs Are Locking"
Unlocked Hubs put transfer in -4H- could not turn front drive shaft "Transfer is Locking"
Left transfer in -4H- Position locked hubs, started jeep and drove doesn't feel like it's in 4wd? no noises, no poping, made a tight turn no binding. I don't think it's locking in 4wd any ideas?

Go to a dirt road and floor it! (don't worry about pavement)

Seriously - then stop and look at the marks...

Easier said then done LOL I live in FL. have you forgotten they have paved the entire state LOL

I would really think that on a Jeep I would feel it and then some, there is a place I think I can try down the road. Give it a whirl and see what we got

I'm originally from Fl! Just moved nine years ago... Lived in O Town for 36 before that... There is always a dirt road.

If you don't have a posi or LS in the front diff - driving in 4wd may feel just like 2wd...

One sure way to know is to take the rear driveshaft out and see if she moves.

We may be moving up your way "GA" the wife has an interview first week of December up there? Not sure how thrilled I am about moving up there though, mainly cause I don't know much about it. But thats another thread LOL
