Re: 4lo

you cant talk about mudding and mention pics without showing!
have you checked to see if the linkage is binding underneath?

Re: 4lo

Re: 4lo

Only time I can get mine to shift into 4LOW is with the engine off and the tranny in neutral at a dead stop. otherwise I'm grinding the hell outta the gears in the T-case.
