Maybe not in the states, but in Germany. There is a the
Oldtimer Markt magazine. You can put a search ad in there. In my olden days, I found the weirdest stuff in that magazine. If you need help with translation into German, you know where to find me.

Danke!

Hub locks come germany too fast and good.


Maybe i handle with this diff. Summer is coming too

I think I know what Karpov is talking about. I have manual hubs. If I engage 4x4 High + lock the hubs, the handling does stiffen up quite a bit at higher speed (above 40 km/h).

SO... if the road condition is not too bad, I just to engage 4x4 high using the button but do NOT lock the hubs. That seems to give me a "good enough" approximation of "all wheel drive". I.e. I can launch from mud and snow, and have passable handling on the slippery pavement.

Hmm. I might have a locked diff. When I turn sharp when in 4x4 my front pulls weird, like my wheels are locking up? Even in 9" of snow. Is this normal? Sometimes while normally driving I'll hear a clunk in the front left wheel only when I'm in 4x4 though. (Rare in low traction areas. If it's high traction though it's about every minute or so.) Sorry don't mean to hijack this thread. Just thinking I may have a locked diff. as well.

But 4x4 low range on and jack right or left side up front of your vehicle.

Try then spin wheel. If it wont spin, lock.

If you're hubs are unlocked then you're in 2wd.... There's no kinda sorta locked

Really? What would be causing that? And the clunk I hear is definitely coming from the FL wheel only.

 

[Karpov]

Clunk is maybe auto hub lock what was my problem too.


But you can still look do you have lock in front.
