I got a 99 ram with 4wd. I know sometimes you have to shift to neutral then shift to 4wd, but I was wondering if you can shift on the fly. I could with my 93 dakota, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks

 

idk about urs but myn is a 98 and i shift it when going 40 or less just let off a lil and make sure ur not spinning because it will go BANG!!! lol and thats not always good, when i shift myn into 4L i shut the truck of with the key on the first notch and shift it in because when i do with the truck running it grinds or bangs a lil bit

 

If by shift on the fly, you mean shift into 4 wheel drive while your driving down the road, they yes, I do it all the time. I wouldn't do it much past 30-40 mph though.

 

You can shift into and out of 4wd high while going under 55mph (although ive went slightly faster and it works)

when shifting into 4wd low, the truck must be in neutral at a speed of no more than 3 mph.
3mph is the smoothest, but not moving at all works also, ive never tryed it above 3mph.

 

Done it as high as 60 or so ... not an endorsement or anything ... attempt at your own risk.

 

eeeeee.....the thought of this scares me.......

 

this is exactly as described in the owners manual, and works perfectly. shift hard and fast when you do shift, and all should be well

 

Thought thats why they call it a Ram!!

 

I shift mine in and out of"4-hi" all the time while I'm moving, I'm usually not going faster than 25-30 if that, but if shifts so smooth that if you didn't see me do it then you wouldn't know i did.
