He said it wont get above 20 mph, but I said it would. I said he could maybe run a quarter mile. BTW, it's an 03' Hemi QC 4x4.

 

why why why ???? 4 lo is to be used when going down long twisty trail's when off road, serves as a engine brake, or if some one is stuck and needs a truck with low end grunt to pull them out, all you do is kill kill kill the truck with this talk... Smarten up..

 

Heh, well all I was talking about was using it for a short race or something.

 

2wd will get you thier quicker....

 

Exceeding 20 MPH is very hard on your trucks T-case and other mechanical parts.....remember the motor is running more than twice as fast in 4-Low......i only use 4-Low when i have to pull someone out (as mentioned) or if i really need to move a heavy piece of machinery for whatever reason.....personally i dont go over 15 mph with it engaged. To RACE somebody in 4-Low would really damage something if its all stock.

 

I was looking at some guys in the second gen forum or something, and they said 4 low for a short race, but I guess not.

 

You could for a very very short distance, but mashing the gas in 4-Low IMO is not a good idea.

 

I had a friend with a 97 Z71 that thought the same way you did about 4 low. He decided to race a guy in 4 low on dry pavement. Light turned green and he floored it. All 4 tires smoked, the trucked lunged forward, then..... BANG! Good-bye front diff. and transfer case. If you feel like spending a couple grand to test this theory like he did, by-all-means, race in 4 low.

 

Not to mention one of our own members that tried to do it and blew his T-case. Trying to race in 4lo is a bad idea and I think you should rethink this.

 

raceing in 4hi. . .good till half track

raceing in 4lo. . .good for 20 feet when the t-case decides to take a dump
