Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / December 20084 x 4 on the freeway
Last evening, I drove my 06 2500 with Cummins 30 miles in 4wd on the Interstate. Not over 45. It was snowing like crazy, and the roads were glazed. What's the limits for using 4wd regarding if it's wet or snowy, and mph limits?

You usually have to be below 45 to shift in and out, though. The problem with using 4wd on dry pavment is during corners. The front end doesn't like it, and will let you know about it. But going straight with gentle curves is not an issue. You might see a drop in fuel mileag with the front axle engaged. I've heard that on big trucks mileage will go down with the transfer case engaged. But in my little dakota, it didn't matter. -------- .boB 2006 FXDI hot rod 2008 Mustang Coupe 2007 Ram 2500 CTD/Auto/4x4 1965 FFR Cobra - 427W EFI, Damn Fast. > Last evening, I drove my 06 2500 with Cummins 30 miles in 4wd on the > Interstate.

Wouldn't be able to get anywhere close to even 45PMH in 4L, methinks. jmc Common sense. Stupity has its own just reward.
