Im talking about exactly what I said. In 2000 the 242 option didnt have 2wd, just 4hi ft, 4hi or, and 4lo. Just like the 242hd in the hummers that didnt have 2wd.

I never said that it was the standard case either, 231 was still standard with the 242 optional. As far as I know the 244 was only available with electric shifting in the 01-03 trucks.

 

I keep mine in Ft 4wd all winter and have driven at speeds up to 65 mph without any problems.

 

I have a 1997 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.9L 4x4 and I had 4 wheel drive engaged going 50 so I don't suggest going over that

 

Did the Rams ever get the 242 transfer case, or another one with full time 4wd? If not you definitely don't want to be in 4 lock on pavement.

 

I added the above bold, at least thats what is in my '01 R/T.

 

My 00 R/T shows Low/Neutral/AWD/High

the Low/High settings have the differential lock settings so not recommended for long term use over dry payment.
