4H Auto or 4H Part Time for daily driving?

[DOTCOM]

Hey y'all!

Quick question...

For daily driving and cruising around... should I be rolling in 4H Auto or 4H Part Time?

I read the manual and still don't quite understand the difference between the two, haha.

-4H auto for daily driving. 4H part time on dry pavement will break things.

“Part time 4WD- This refers to a four-wheel drive system that operates on-demand and drives all 4 wheels by locking the front and rear axles together via a shift lever. ... Full-Time 4WD (Full Time 4WD) – This is a four-wheel-drive system that can be operated continuously on all surfaces.”

-4H auto is when the computer adjusts for surface and can be operated continuously on all surfaces.

“4H AUTO
Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range — This range sends power to the front wheels. The four-wheel drive system will be automatically engaged when the vehicle senses a loss of traction. Additional traction for varying road conditions.”

Thank you for this! So, when driving in rain, I should switch to PT…. Correct?

4WD PT will provide improved traction and handling in slippery driving conditions. It can help in rain.

I've recently driven in very heavy rain and didn't touch a thing; left in Auto and had zero issues. I just can't get over how well the 392 handles in all conditions as compared to my old JK.

They put 4H auto on there to keep you from doing burnouts.

And the Jl Tazer takes care of that for you...in case you need to do a burn out

Are you sure the Tazer will make it two-wheel drive?

Thanks, very helpful

Yes

 

[switz]

Yes

Then, I believe the Tazer is a must-have. Having it two-wheel drive would be a lot of fun.

 

[BobT]

Which two?
...

Ha, good question. No good if it is the front wheels.

There is currently a thread on some glitches with the Tazer on this subject.

Tazer gremlin - 4H Auto flickers in Force RWD

As the title says, the 4H Auto light will occasionally flicker or light up when I’m in 2H using the Tazer. Doesn’t feel like anything mechanically changes. Curious if anyone has seen something similar.
