[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1154259, member: 17843"] I assume some of you have a four wheel drive vehicle, so I'd like some clarification on something. I have never owned a four wheel drive, but recently bought a Nissan Frontier 4x4. I've been reading and looking at things online and noticed the full-time and part-time four wheel drive. I've read that part time four wheel drive shouldn't be driven on dry, paved roads. If you do, you may as well just drive it on to the salvage yard, because you've probably destroyed it. I know it doesn't make sense to engage it and drive 70 on the interstate in July; that wouldn't make sense; however, I've read that if you are on snow covered roads and come to a clear stretch of road, it would be best to switch back to 2 wheel drive. Really? Is four wheel drive really that delicate? I've talked to a few people with four wheel drive, and they say they feel that is overboard. One guy said he once had a truck that in order to engage four wheel drive, he had to put it in neutral, engage the four wheel drive shift, put it in reverse and back up until he heard a click, and then he was ready to go forward in four wheel. He said once he put that in, it stayed until he was absolutely sure he was done with it. there was no in and out all the time. He said he would often drive for days in four wheel during a snow until the roads were fully clear. So, what's the story on 4 wheel drive? Is it really that delicate? [/QUOTE]
