I actually posted 2, and that's because the number of people ( 3 or 4 ) on youtube are doing it wrong. I've also already explained this. There isn't enough torque to move the front wheels at idle unless you're on very very slippery surfaces, such as snow/ice. I strongly encourage someone here to go out to the snow ( none here ), put it at idle, and have someone record the results. you'll need to rev it up a bit, 1800 should do the trick. Once the engine is WARM, plop it down into neutral, push the transfer case neutral button until it lights up. if you do NOT wait until it lights up, it WILL default to 4AUTO, even if the 4lo / lock is blinking or lit up. Once the transfer case is in neutral, push it over to 4LO, give it some gas, no wheel spin needed, then record it.
It sounds to me like the dealers don't know, so they are merely telling you that's how it works. 99% of those eggheads rely on youtube as much as you guys do.
The problem I'm seeing, and it's extremely hard to tell between the two is people complaining because they THINK it works this way, or, people who are going to be unbiased and provide accurate data. The truck doesn't leave you stranded any more than any other truck. THAT is the ultimate data source.
As for videos, I'll refer back to this one:

This is about as useful as you can show with the truck on ice inclines. The 44-44 system works as designed, and yes, the front wheels often move before the black even detects a slip, as designed.
As for me working for Fiat, yes, I do. However, I'm not here in a work capacity or any other capacity, I'm a RAM owner, just like you guys.
