Force 2wd?

I noticed if you put in forced 2 wheel drive also turn off traction control.

I met with them in Daytona at jeep invasion. He also told me the update will fix the delay on password entry. Try that also will work better.

Great! I talked to then there a couple years ago. They hinted that pin lock was coming at the time.

if you update your TAZER it does not do that flickering any more.

What year model is your Jeep and Tazer version are you using?

I had tried updating to latest version around 2 months ago, had more temporary dash errors when Forced 2WD, so I went back one version. Have they released a new version within the last month?

Reason I updated was in hopes of eliminating 3-horn barks when opening/closing rear tailgate after Remote Start with key fob

Hmmm. Did you unmarry/marry it?

I know I've done the Taser full reboot since updating the device, but I did not unmarry it.
 
I did not but I only have 4000 miles on it and had it since august 2023. So I dont drive it much. I will look harder. maybe I am just missing the flicker.
 
For those that have the flickering 4auto lights with the tazer. Reached out to ZAutomotive and this was their response.

I know this is an old thread, so I am reviving it but need to add FAD to my Jeep after a lift and aftermarket driveshaft and wondering if anyone has the part numbers for the factory Jeep FAD parts? I ordered the wiring harness from eBay that was referenced but wondering what other parts I need for the project? Any help is very much appreciated.

I just came across this thread, thanks for reviving; very interesting read. I previously owned a Challenger Scat Pack and seven, yes (7), Jeep Wrangler RUBICONs, all two-doors though. So this was my first four-door with the AWD…🤔. I was perplexed WHY AWD? Didn’t make sense to me, especially after owning the SCAT. Thought about the Tazer force two-wheel drive option, but ultimately decided to retain the STOCK feature. I actually have gotten used to the thought and enjoy full throttle take-offs at the light! The front end will literally stand up; CRAZY!🤪

I have a perfectly tuned 2.5 RK NO LIMITS, and have no vibration at 80+with stock drive shaft.

I see that there are varying preferences on 2 vs. 4, but I found this thread very interesting and just wanted to chime in. Thanks for all the input into this discussion! Cheers🫡

Main down side to running is Forced RWD ...per Scott Blum.... is added stress to rear dana 44 axle.
No added stress to electric motor or clutches in t/c.
How long will it hold up to burn-outs and slow full power acceleration is only a guess.
When I asked about Mopar rear axles in Hellcat vehicles... they are stronger than dana 44.

I asked Scott and another FCA/Jeep employee why Jeep did't upgrade the $90k+ Wrangler 392 to dana 60's....response was.... you'd be how much $ it cost in R&D testing to change axles, can't just bolt them on.

It is true that running in 2wd will add some extra stress to the rear axle especially if you have a lead foot. I will point out a couple of things, the transfer case IS the weak point on a 392 Wrangler. Consider this how many Dana 44 failures do you hear about and then, how many transfer cases are failing. When in 2wd there is no pressure on the front transfer case clutch pack, (this is the item that usually fails in our transfer cases) Also, if you do add a FAD unit to the front axle you are literally free wheeling the front differential, no carrier or ring and pinon rotation. The 392 will actually steer and drive better, zero wear on the front axle and since nothing is rotating, its smoother too. Plus, I do find a minor fuel savings. Ask those who have done this, it is a mod that pays off in spades!

Finally, for those who feel the full time 4wd is a better option I submit to you, what is cheaper to replace a 2K Dana 44 (2k) or a transfer case (4k). I will go with the Dana 44 option every time (better yet a D60 upgrade) besides, you will also have much more fun in 2wd. Obviously just my opinion and 50 years of mechanical experience!

Great advise; 🤔 you got me thinking now. I may reconsider this. Thanks for the feedback and your input on this subject.🫡

Do you have the part number or link/details for the wiring harness that you ordered? Thanks🫡

Excellent that is what I was looking at, but can’t determine if it includes the gasket and 4 bolts? Do you know? Or are those separately ordered?

You can use the bolts you take off the cover plate. It does come with a new gasket but the old gasket is usually ok to reuse.
