newbie 4x4
Greetings all,
Is there a FAQ as to when to use 4WD vs. 2WD with Jeep Cherokee 1999-2001. Road pavement, conditions, etc... Also is there a .pdf file or URL with photos of the manual - or something similar - that gives the viewer the sequence of how to use the 4WD gear shift? Can you shift while driving or should it be idle? Many thanks from a 4x4 newbie... Eddy |

I used my 95 in high 4 whenever off road, and low 4 when I needed to craw
through some real tough terrain. These Jeeps will always be my favorite (I have small family that likes to go too).

Only when it is quite slippery. If you use it on anything else you can damage the transfer case. Slippery as in your wheels would slip without it. Watch driving on heavily crowned icy roads in that type of 4wd... it may slide you in the ditch. > > Also is there a .pdf file or URL with photos of the manual - or something > similar - that gives the viewer the sequence of how to use the 4WD gear > shift? Can you shift while driving or should it be idle? The Daimler-Chrysler Jeep website at www.jeep.com has a link "for owners" that will eventually take you to their publication division. The direct location to the website is www.techauthority.com where you can not only order an Owners Manual, you can also get the Factory Service Manual that can save you hundreds of dollars on repairs even if you don't do them yourself. > > Many thanks from a 4x4 newbie... ...Enjoy. |

The ones that offer 2 WD and 4 WD do not have open or limited slip differentials and *will* be damaged if driven in 4wd on anything that doesn't actually allow slip between the front and rear wheels. It can also bind up the drive train so it won't shift out of 4wd. > |
