Just got my 1998 Gen 2.5 w/diff lock and adjustable shocks. Drove it home 140 miles today with mildly troubling shaking at speed, though this is likely due to the fact that the tires are all different brands and the fronts are 30x9.5x15 on one side and 260/70r15 on the other, with different wear patterns etc. I knew I would need new tires right away.
When I picked it up I ran it through the gearing and it as fine.
After my trip, sat for two hours, drove to store, then I put it into 4LC and turned on the diff lock and moved forward onto a curb . I got a lot of smoke coming out from under the right rear tire - like a lot of white smoke. The exhaust ends behind the right rear tire (another fix to be made). Back in 2WD, even 4HI - no issues driving back or any smoke.
Any thoughts? Maybe it was just exhaust smoke? No particular bad smell like oil burning etc.
Also - what is the "hold" button for?
Thanks
