darkestskydiver Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 another question for you guy's.... when i'm wheeling i will usually keep it in 2wd till i need 4wd if i put it in 4w hi in order to go up an incline i have to put it in first and even then it struggles. on any hill where there is any kind of loamy dirt or whoops i have to put it in 4 low and 1st otherwise i get stuck, and have to back down, if i put it in 4 low and second it does ok till i hit an incline and starts to bog and forces me to go back into 4 low 1st. is this common or could there be somthing wrong with my engine? i have replaced all the tune up items with all new, and adjusted the timing. it runs so much better now, but it's still being stubborn? any ideas?? i know our little pathys are underpowered but this seems a little rediculus. thank you.

Kittamaru Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think part of the problem is it seems our power band is a little higher than most - I know for me personally, my engine seems to have the most "oomph" around 3000-4000 rpm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Our trucks are fat and underpowered. 4lo compensates with gearing. 4hi just makes the enigne work harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 4lo is basically a crawler gear, if you need wheel speed, don't use it, use 4hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 4lo is basically a crawler gear, if you need wheel speed, don't use it, use 4hi. na, just put it in 4 low and 3rd gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
