Shifting into 4H

[WILDHOBO]

Manual says you can shift in and out if 4H from 2H or 4H Auto (if you have it) up to 45mph. I’ve never gone in or out of 4H without moving, and it’s been smooth since day one. I use tranny neutral at almost zero speed to shift in or out of 4L. I use both a lot, and have had no problems. The transfer case shifter is not electronic though, and we should expect a nice solid feel to the shifting in my opinion.

By now you’ve used the transfer case a bit and it’s past a break-in period, drain out the fluid and upgrade to a full synthetic. I did and shifting into 4H and Lo is much easier.

Isn't this a lifetime fluid?

What synthetic did you use?

I changed out the factory oil in the transfer case for Amsoil Signature Series ATF.

Transfer case has it's own fluid and maintenance - not related to automatic transmission.

Their time expiry of your vehicle and my time expiry are two different timelines. “Lifetime” and “don’t touch it” oil is marketing that defies common sense.

If hard data and an authority is what we seek on the condition of “lifetime” oil it would be an oil analysis.
