After another day driving around Fayetteville AR,, on steep city streets, this rig is a monster!! No worries at all it will push 33's with ease. While it's not fast, which I didn't expect or find important for my needs, I can now feel the torque. Torque in spades baby!!!! It feels like it wants to climb a brick wall!! Like I said, mean as heck!!!
Question. At a rolling stop, when I hit the 4H button, the T-case gears grind in a meaningful way. just for a half second. At a full stop, no issues at all. Also, at a rolling stop, disengaging the 4H, nada. No grinding, no sound, no videration at all. Is the gear grinding at 5-10 MPH expected, or should I avoid this by just coming to a full stop. This point doesn't affect me at all or the way I will use the rig. But, given all the drivetrain work, I want this sucker to behave as it should.
Shouldn't be engaging 4 hi while moving unless the front hubs are locked otherwise your are grinding gears in the t-case, plus you shouldn't engage 4wd on a paved surface.
