Shifting to 4H on Wet Roads.

[Mike2]

Mga 4x4 Gurus,

Ok lang po bang mag-shift to 4H (part-time 4WD) on roads that are wet, drenched or binaha like in the current diesel pick-ups? :?

[kiper]

Mike2,

ano ba yang sasakyan mo?

meron kasing mga sasakyan na okay lang engage sa 4H..tapos kahit iwan mo nang ganun katulad ng mga Pajero.

ung sakin naman na escape..di pwede basta-basta ilagay sa ON ang 4wd.. pwede masira ang tranny..

para sakin no need if you are on concrete/asphalt pavement.
pwede pa kung soil/sand yung dinadaanan mo.

Mike2, it depends on your 4WD system. AFAIK Kung meron kang center diff, in general, pwede. Kung wala kasi or pag locked, its possible that wet roads will not provide enough slip. Therefore, pwede kang maka experience ng binding.

It is not advisable to shift into 4H or 4L on pavements. 4WD grips better on loose grounds. And concrete pavements will just break the whole 4WD system of your rig.

[pajerokid]

Ungas, ...yung saken pwede.... :wink:

[Ungas]

pajerokid::: Whaaaa... 4WD of Pajeros does have its functions. :mrgreen: Iba kasi ang 4H nyo, not like our ride 4H is the same as your 4HLc. :D

[wreckless]

so tuwing kelan lang pwede mag 4H ang patrol??

[pajerokid]

Miss wreckless, pag merong snow or mud.

[kiper]

wreckless,

hintayin mong magka-snow..para magamit mo na 4H mo.

[Ungas]

wreckless::: Pwede ka mag shift ng 4H or 4L on loose grounds and soil wag lang sa concrete pavements.

Tsaka wag mong seryosohin posts ni kiper, kundi mababaliw ka sa kaka-intay. :mrgreen:

[wreckless]

sa lahar na lang..hehehehe..

what abt rough roads??
tipong lubak lubak na parang mini-moon craters.
d ba dapat 4H dun?

[Ungas]

Imo, kung kaya naman ng 2H mo, no need to shift it to 4H. Kahit naman lubak lubak kaya ng 2WD mode.

[pajerokid]

Kung rough roads, tama si Ungas, 2H lang oks na yan :D

Para sakin primary use ng 4H is for slippery roads. Iba ang kapit ng 4H sa wet highways!

I envy Pajeros becuase they can do that to their transfer gears. Guess I coundn't have the best of both worlds. :P

[pajerokid]

Dont worry pre.... inggit naman kami sa locking diffs nyo! :mrgreen:

[wreckless]

so sa wet hi-ways (concrete pavement)..
d pwede ang 4H sa patrol??
sa paj kasi kapag madulas nga naka 4H ako.

tuwing kelan ginagamit ung diff lock??

haayyy..
mukhang kailangan ko na ng offroading lessons ni wolfpack...

[Ungas]

Sama kayo on the 29th! This will be fun! :mrgreen:

Diff locks can only be used if 4WD traction cannot be attained. Wheel spin on all 4 wheels, activate the diff lock and for sure your traction will be achieved.

[wreckless]

im really lookin forward to that date...
d kasi natuloy yung paglalaro sa lahar last weekend e..

For my toyota tacoma, i usually shift to 4H when its raining hard that is on hard surface, i have the automatic disconnecting differential (ADD) so i can shift to 4H even my truck is running below 55 MPH or 80 KMH. i dont use my differential lock on hard surface because of unstable jerky movement and might damage the rear differential, when we play in the mud and sometimes we got stuck in the then that's the only time that i use my differential lock.
thanks a lot and have a great day
peace out ya all
