Default Tested out 4lo today

And i didn't get stuck in it!


I'm pretty sure its working, i heard a loud thunk and it was slower, and seemed to drive differently.

But it was a really hard shift(like i said a hard thunk)

Should it be serviced or what?

BTW- I drive a 95 blazer 4x4 4dr lt

A hard thunk can be normal for the engagement of 4LO. It all depends on the location of the gears when you go into 4LO.

sometimes, the gears arent complely aligned when it shifts it over to lo, so when the acuator(i think) moves the gears into the properconfig for the setting you chose it will forcibly push hard onthe gears untill they rotate into postion, and when they get aligned, there is alot of pressure on them so they snap quicker then normal,, btw make sure you are in N when you change 2 4lo
