So I have a few question i was hoping to find answers to. First of when in 4 HI what is the split of power? 50-50? My Transfer case only has the options of 4HI-4Low and 2 HI. Another question is not meaning to Beat a dead mule but does anyone know what the fuel consumtion would be when driving in 4 HI?

Thanks

 

In theory, if the engines putting out 100% power in 2wd, then it splits the power in 4wd (which I think is something like 30/70, not 50/50...but Im probably just hallucinating), you shouldnt lose any mileage by driving 4wd vs 2wd

Butttt thats in the same world where Efans boost your HP since you remove the fan clutch, HHO systems produce more power than you supply, and V6s can be built better than a V8 in a blazer

 

Yah..i was just wondering on the spilt of power because of curiousty and my blazer didnt come with a manual =(.
Random Question here and totally off topic but is your brush guard at all the same as the aries style? I was looking Hunter on Ebay and cant find them.

 

I havnt seen an Aries on a s-series, but their basic design looks pretty similar. Hunter is now known as Truck Gear Direct, and you can buy from their website instead of ebay, click!

I know Ive seen the torque split posted on here...I just cant remember it off the top of my head. Hopefully someone else does

 

Split is 50/50 for the NV231/233 transfer case. The NV236 (Auto4wd) and NV136 (AWD) have active torque management and can supply anywhere from 0/100 to 50/50 F/R. The older AWD transfer case used up until 98 (IIRC) was a dedicated 30/70 F/R split.

And to a certain extent, you will loose mileage when in 4wd. With the front axle disengaged on the NV231/233 transfer cases, you are not turning the whole front differential and driveshaft, which removes a certain amount of parasitic drag on the drivetrain. When you put the truck into 4wd, you are now turning all of those components. Also, when in 4wd and driving on semi-loose surfaces, when traction is available, the drivetrain will bind up to a certain extent, causing a decrease in efficiency. It is not something that really can be quantified in terms of a mileage hit when driving in 4wd because the conditions will really have a lot to do with it.
