Default When in 4hi pulls to left.

Hello folks just got my 4x4 working on command thanks to "4x4 no worky" The beast goes down the highway strait as a violated date when in 2/W but pulls to port in 4x4. Three button OBDII. Brakes, inflation and balance all good. I know less then zero about front ends and suspension. Was told on last inspection front right ball joint has minor play. Thanks from beautiful Hampton Bays.

Your front end is not locked, meaning only one tire is getting power in 4WD. This is why you are feeling a pull. 4WD is not meant to be used on road, BTW.

^ what he said.. Although i have tried 4hi in roads with no issues.


Id get that balljoint fixed..It breaks,tire goes crazy,you can total your blazer or kill someone if not yourself. Balljoints arent something to gamble with.

If the front axle doesn't lock, there will be no power delivered to the front wheels because of the open diff so I doubt that a disengaged front axle is what is causing your problems.

Are you certain that all of the tires are the same size tire and that they are all worn evenly? Have you tried swapping the front tires side to side to see if it follows the tires?
