4 wheel drives and tire sizes
April 17, 2008 | Categories:
If your vehicle is Automatic 4 wheel drive and you have tires that do not match on your vehicle this could cause a failure in the transfer case due to the fact that the abs sensors on your vehicle are used to sense differences in wheel speed. If you have 1 tire that is a different size on your vehicle the abs computer thinks there is a slip due to different tire rotation speeds and autolocks the transfer case into 4 wheel drive. some of the later model transfer cases have PLASTIC shift forks in them that control the 4 wheel shift function the 4x4 high/low range forks are still metal in most units but have plastic inserts just like manual transmissions do.
