Question about 4WD
Allright...i dont know much about 4WD but i was wondering if 4H or 4L is better for snow?? I think it goes
4H N 4L 2H maybe the 4H and the 4L are switched around but im not sure. When i put it into 4H(or the top one) it makes it faster but the RPM's are higher and when you let off the gas it doesnt shift...it just stays there as if there is no other gears. So which one is better for snow because i have never tried the one above 2H...just the one all the way at the top. can someone help me out please??  Thanks again.

Normal driving, you should be in "2H" (or "2-wheel drive high") which is 2wd. When you switch into "4H" (closest to "2H"), you've engaged four-wheel drive and it should be operating at the same ratio as the standard 2-wheel drive. This is the gear to be in when you're negotiating roads. If you engage "4L" (4-wheel drive low"), the top speed in each gear will be considerably lower than in the same gear in "2H" or "4H". This selection is for off-roading or very difficult situations (deeper snow, extremely low traction conditions, etc.).

ok thanks. Like i said...the top one(dont know which one it is) makes it go faster but the RPM is higher and when you let off the gas it just stays there and doesnt shift like i mentioned before. So is the one above the 2WD good to drive around in the city(on dry pavement)?

and as a little financial hint, on the typical 4wd, you'll use more gas (maybe not alot, but you will use more) if you're in 4LO, or 4HI, while 2WD is alot more economical and les stress on the front axles along with a better turning radius in 2WD. You will also need to drive at lesat 10 miles a month in 4HI or LO, so that the front differential won't freeze up and lock.
Hope this helps ya out a bit
