 Subject: Four Wheel Drive in Reverse
IP: Logged
Message:
I have part time four wheel drive that I can change with a switch on the dash of my 2004 Dakota (4.7 ltr). I am not sure if it is shift on the fly as I can only change into 4x4 going 5 mph or less but I can be moving. I am wondering if I have four wheel drive in reverse as a few situations I have been in made me think that I didn't. Do the different types of 4x4 available on the 2004 have different capabilities? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated, I am having a lot of trouble finding info on this topic.

Your transfer case works independently of the transmission. It does not know (or care) whether you are moving fwd or rearward.
When you state 'going 5mph or less' I am guessing you mean shifting into 4 Lo. 4 Lo is generally for things like plowing snow or conditions where you need real torque vice just all wheels providing drive power, ie: extreme traction conditions and reduced wheel spin. If you opperate the system improperly you can cause severe damage to your vehicle.
Your owners manual does a good job of explaining this. I would recommend getting it out of the glove box and reading through it.

I remember the days when people used to back up 5ft to disengage there 4WD. Now you simply turn the nob to 2wd and go.
