    Best way to pull boattrailer out of a slipway 4WD auto/Lock/low?

    My english is good enough I think, so language can't be a real issue ;) I will keep me to that procedure next time. When launching first parking brake and then put it in Park and vica versa when leaving. You are def right about how deep the trailer should be. We were in to far. The previous...

    Best way to pull boattrailer out of a slipway 4WD auto/Lock/low?

    Ok thanks guys for all the advice! But could it be an issue if there is a small turn after the ramp? From what I've read it doesn't seem to be a good idea to make a turn in low or lock.

    Don't think there is any 4x4 high. You can only choose auto, lock or low for 4WD This was the slipway where we went to get the boat. Have no idea what the conditions will be where we let it in the water over here. Guess it will depend and be different in any other location. That will be...

    Don't we all dream of stuff with no maintenance required ;) But if its got moving parts, you got to service it. Unless you can sell it before it brakes :)

    Best way to pull boattrailer out of a slipway 4WD auto/Lock/low?

    E-brake was on. Wouldn't risk it to put it just in Park. Don't remember if I put the E-brake on first and than in P or vice versa. But the e-brake was def on. Ours is in 4WD Auto all the time. No matter if we drive small roads, highway, dry, wet, ... always 4WD auto. Never had an issue. Only...

    Best way to pull boattrailer out of a slipway 4WD auto/Lock/low?

    Hi, I was wondering what is the best way to pull a loaded boattrailer out of the slipway? Leave it in 4WD auto like it is all the time or switch it to 4WD Lock of 4WD low? When we were loading the boat it was in 'P' with parking brake. When I put it in 'D' I heard some kind of crack. Suppose...

    Problem after changing the front tires

    So if I read this correct, if I would have put the new tires in the rear and the old tires up front there wouldn't have been an issue?

    Problem after changing the front tires

    Installed a new set on the rear and the problem is indeed fixed! There doesn't seem to be any damage to the transfer case because he is doing fine right now. Learned something new now! Before the Dodge we had a Volvo XC90, also a 4WD, but changing only one pair wasn't an issue with that car...

    Problem after changing the front tires

    Ok i'm gonna order another set of tires and hope it will be fixed. Just hope that the transfer case hasn't been damaged yet.

    Problem after changing the front tires

    Tnx for the reply. So changing the back tires should solve the problem? Following that logic it would be unsafe to replace an almost worn out flat rear tire with the brand new spare, even for a while. For the front you can put it in 2wd like we did, but for the rear?

    Problem after changing the front tires

    Hi, Today we changes the front tires because it was necessary. The rear ones still have some miles on them. But as soon as we left the shop there was some kind of shaking noticeable. First I thought the tires weren't balanced correctly or not tightened properly. Then I found out that when it is...
