Running in and out of heavy rain and potential slick roads and was wondering if I can keep it in 4H Auto between storms. Thanks for the responses. I now know I can run it in 4H Auto at highway speed.Is there a documented top speed when running in 4H Auto or Part-time?
Absolutely! No problem at all with that.Running in and out of heavy rain and potential slick roads and was wondering if I can keep it in 4H Auto between storms. Thanks for the responses. I now know I can run it in 4H Auto at highway speed.
But your wheels are slipping there - dirt, pot holes, washboard roads - the latter causing wheels to spin as they bounce off the road anyway.Actually, I should clarify. I’ve done over 65 in 4hi on rough, potholed, washboard dirt roads. But that’s kind of what the Mojave excels at.
I’d never have tried that in any of my other Jeeps in the past, and wouldn’t have dreamed of it in my Ram 2500.
I had the same thought. If you need to be in 4H then you probably shouldn't be going 'fast' to begin with.Really? If you need to be in 4 anything you should be doing over any speed limits.
But 4 auto doesn't care a rip.
4H - if you need that you are really not long for this world if you are going over 65.
And if you are running 65 in 4H on a dry road, your truck isn't long for this world..........
Funny thing, there's another thread with almost the same name asking exactly the same question.
Oddly enough around here in the winter it's the 4x4 trucks and SUVs that slip off the road. Oh you see the 2 wheel drive cars, etc. - but over half of them I bet are front wheel drive and they feel they have more ability with those, but it's similar - you can go but not necessarily control it.I had the same thought.

4 wheel drive isn't some magic traction spell that makes slippery things not slippery. It just helps find some traction when 1 or 2 other wheels slip. Lose traction on all 4 at once speeding, well good luck.
Oh yeah, definitely a low traction situation. I was just adjusting my previous comment about there not being a situation where you should be at high speed in 4hi.But your wheels are slipping there - dirt, pot holes, washboard roads - the latter causing wheels to spin as they bounce off the road anyway.
Here in Michigan too. Too many people who own AWD or 4X4 vehicles think they can go as fast as they want in any condition. You might have traction going forward, but you don't have any more traction when it comes to stopping.Oddly enough around here in the winter it's the 4x4 trucks and SUVs that slip off the road.
