yes
Max speed is 60 mph iirc so no, not all the timeSo I can use 4hi all the time right ? Did I understand it right
Keep in mind that 55mph is based on stock tire sizes so you need to compensate if you're running bigger than stock tires.
Good point. That sounds correct now that I think about it further.Since the system is internal same as the speedometer, I don't think you have to compensate at all.
I'm sure 55 mph is for legal covering. They don't want you to get hurt messing with 4H going 100 mph then suing them. It's possible they could do something about it on Gen 3 with electronic shifter but Gen 2 is totally mechanical it would either work or not. Gears/splines will either mesh up or won't
So I checked and I checked test after test and now the gauge works fine and the motor was never running hot. The upper hose now won't Calaps like it did when I saw it. I hope that never happens again. I went to Azuza Canyon today just to check to see if the 4x4 hi lo works and it does.
On a side note can you guys tell me when I should put the 4llc and 4hi. And what's the difference ? Thanks Eric.
Thanks off-roader. Last time I checked it was good but I'll check like you told me just to make sure. Thanks a lot.
Another thing to remember in all of this is that you have an interference engine that is ran by a timing belt and also feeds the water pump. The recommended replacement period on the timing belt and components in 60,000 miles. You are well over double that and depending on how hard the previous owner worked the engine (towing or driving with heavy loads, lots of people etc.) your timing components could be pretty shot. I just replaced the timing belt, water pump, timing tensioner cam, timing idler cam and such on my 2003 that had 96,000 miles on it. I was right at the point where the timing was greater than 20 degrees out. Just some food for thought, but if the timing belt goes or your timing falls too far out you risk slapping a valve with a head and then you have major mechanical problems and most likely will need a whole new engine. Also, on the 3.8L the system autobleeds and from what I can tell actually does a really great job. Good Luck!
