dyeagain15 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yeah, my 99' Durango was the same way. That's the way my Expedition is set up also, but if you take it off AWD and put it in 4wd and turn the steering wheel as far as it'll go on dry pavement and step on the gas a bit then the front diff will bind a bit and the truck will buck that is not from the diff. it is from the limitations of the u joint or knuckle which will bind up because they can only operate in the intended range they were made for. most people are not dumb enough to turn there wheels all the way in 4wd and stomp on the gas like you lol ^^^ The working angle of the drive shaft**** My F-150 Build (So Far) 2 DC L3 10's Kenwood KDC-X794 (4) Selenium ST200 (Highs) (2) RE X8 (Mids) Sundown Sub/Mid/High Amps Shuriken Batteries Knu Wiring My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXxOuTLaWxXx Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I just googled "4wd on dry pavement?" And every topic stated the same thing as what I said. Man, your a great mechanic! I do this shit as a side job. Learn from me, don't dis me. "i'd rather die like a man than live like a coward" quoted from Tupac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXxOuTLaWxXx Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Those shafts that go to the front wheels on a 4wd are called the "half shafts" not the "drive shaft". And the half shafts have nothing to do with the binding. If they did it would also do it on a front wheel drive vehicle "i'd rather die like a man than live like a coward" quoted from Tupac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it is necessary on bigger lift kits to extend the drive shaft length My F-150 Build (So Far) 2 DC L3 10's Kenwood KDC-X794 (4) Selenium ST200 (Highs) (2) RE X8 (Mids) Sundown Sub/Mid/High Amps Shuriken Batteries Knu Wiring My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
