My Remote tuning Thread

I counted close to 7-8 sec 0-60 mph, that would translate to 15 flat at about 95mph in the 1/4? if it doesnt redline. I would keep it in 2WD? On the other hand if you still had AWD

I would hope that it would run faster than that, I'm running about a 15.9 right now and he's making a whole lot more power than I am

I know when I had a rental Dodge Durange-O 5.9 it screamed in 4X4 low off the line and knocked off about 1 sec 0-60 then shifted on the fly into 2wd high, after a while the transfer case made funny grinding noises, so strange. If you cant shift on the fly into 2WD high theres way too much drag once you start rolling, not to mention wear and tear either way, 4X4 on dry pavement or shifting on the go especially under WOT.

Even if you turn the knob back to HI range while in motion, the transfer case's computer just sits there saying 'nuh uh'. Unlike transmissions, tranfer case HI and LO gears are not synchronized so shifting them between these two phases will almost certainly result in damage.

Iz, I believe the 4406 is syncronized-

I know I can shift it while moving-between 2 hi and 4 hi all day long. It is completely manual, with only a position sensor.

And to think, people actually buy those used rental cars

Well switching to 2HI and 4HI doesnt need synchronization because there should be no speed difference between the two output shafts (provided you're not making a tight turn while engaging 4HI).

The problem is in LO gear -- the difference is not between the two output shafts but rather the speed between the output shafts and the transmission. With a LO gear ratio of somewhere near the mid 2.x, that means the transmission side of the engagement has to spun up 2.x times more than the outputs. Could one shift from HI to LO? Yes it is probably possible but its like slamming gears on a non sync'd transmission -- you have to do it quick and hope the teeths line up right. But do it enough times and chances are, there will be a bit more metal fragments at the next oil flush.

I know, I know .. I'm probably taking this further than we should . But I'd like to state that its a bad idea to shift between the two ranges (HI/LO) while in motion.

rental SUV, plus I passed the age limit for rental trucks in place ,that thing was a piece, the resonace on the highway was unreal with the windows open a certain amount, even 4" past a point gave the thing the shakes...good work dodge. After being bored with the Durange-O and odd problems that started to occur I switched to a Dodge Inrepid?. Manual shifting the auto trans I could get a 2nd gear chirp while carefully manipulating the throttle(floor it release just before a shift and give it to the floor was the technique I believe), after awhile it started to slip into 2nd and the drive belts squacked maybe from glazing because of the timing retard they use on shifts, so strange on a 3K vehicle . Anyone want to let me borrow their car I want to try something
