I have had several discussions with guys about this and never got a good answer.
Is this truck a "true 4 wheel drive"?
The rear axle is a standard open (Not limited slip or posi-traction) When I put it in 4 wheel drive, it's my understanding that it may be "3" wheel drive due to the "open" rear axle, both rear wheels will not drive. What about the front axle? Do both wheels "pull/drive" OR will only one wheel pull, like the rear?
If that is the case, it would only be "2 wheel" drive? Does this make sense?
To me, the fronts do pull with both wheels, because if I engage the 4 wheel drive on solid pavement & try to make a turn, one wheel/tire want to scuff/hop & even kind of locks up due to the lft or right is spinning at different speeds.
So, help me here. Please explain this to me.
Thanks.
