At what RPM? On the gas, on the brake, idle, accel, cruising, more info please?

 

[ricstone]

mostly at 55 to 60 mile per hour or less. idle is just fine. an this is only when it is snow on the road.

So when it's otherwise cold and there's no snow it's fine?

 

[ricstone]

everthing is fine unless there is snow on. what do you think?

Are you in Auto or in 4x4 Hi when it happens?

 

[ricstone]

it was in 4x4 auto an i also tried it 4x4 hi

 

[TPLYNCH]

What about rain? I can't think of anything in the 4x4 that would cause the engine to cut off. The GEM controls the 4x4, but I don't think it has anything to do with engine running. Is something in the engine getting wet maybe?? Got me stumped.....

 

[ricstone]

no it,s never done it in the rain. who know,s i guess i will drive the Ranger if it snowes more. thanks
