 Subject: FWD on pavement feel while in AWD
IP: Logged
Message:
I have an 01 Dakota quad cab sport model, automatic with a 4.7. I recently got a p441 code which I understand to be a code associated with vaccuum seals (sorry, not a mech). Within 10 miles of driving I found that the wheels were binding during turns, like it was riding in FWD. The indicator showed that I was in AWD which is normal. I ran a diagnostic by flipping the ignition 3X and reading the code (p441). I think they are unrelated and occurred coincidentally. Am I wrong? If they are in fact unrelated, what could I be dealing with?

GAS cap lose or shot can do this.

If I get very low on gas, then only put a couple of gallons in it, I get the same error. I've also gotten that error code from a loose gas cap. Must be a very sensitive system.

The two problems should be unrelated. Might want to check the power steering as well as the AWD for the other problem.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way
