You mean third axle. There'll be some sort of switch on the vehicle somewhere.. it may be in the cab, or it could be outside of the cab.

What is the advantage of a four-wheel drive vs a six-wheel drive?
Four wheel drive tends to be lighter, and less complex.. with a six wheel drive (such as in the M35, M39, M913, etc. series military trucks), you usually have to have an interaxle differential lock. In normal operations, tandem axle trucks, such as dump trucks, tractor trailers, etc. only have one axle which drives them forward. When they need to, the driver can engage the differential lock to engage the second drive axle. On a 6x6 truck, such as the type described above, the transfer case would be used to engage the front axle.

What is the difference between a truck that's a 4x4 and a truck that's all wheel?
Four wheel drive means that the front and rear driveshafts are locked in to rotate at the same speed constantly when engaged. All wheel drive depends on the system... on a traditional system, the other axle will engage when slip in detected in the powered axle. On a modern, computerized, asymmetrical AWD drive system, the transmission is attached to a differential which is computer controlled and applies power where it is needed. Additionally, the axle differentials are electronically controlled and can be locked and unlocked as needed.
What axle pulls on tandem trucks?
They both do. With the differentials unlocked and the truck in gear, if you raised just one of those wheels off the ground, all the torque would transfer to that wheel (which would be the path of least resistance), and the truck would be going nowhere.. that wheel would just be spinning in the air. The power divider lock doesn't engage the second axle - the second axle is already engaged. The power divider lock simple ensures that the driveshaft to the rear axle continues to rotate at the same speed at the driveshaft going to to forward drive axle.
1992 dodge Dakota front axle does not engage when in four wheel drive?
Odds are the diaphragm is shot, in the central axle disconnect (CAD). You need to check if you have vacuum at the front axle, and if the vacuum switches from side to side, when you engage four wheel drive. If it does, your CAD is bad. If not, trace your vacuum lines to find the leak.

What is example of a wheel and axle?
A ferris wheel is an example.a Barrel.Bicycle Wheels.the STEERING WHEEL.oh and also, i just made one up:On a wagon, for example, the bucket rests on top of the axle. As the wheel rotates the axle, the wagon moves. Now, place your pet dog in the bucket, and you can easily move him around the yard. On a truck, for example, the cargo hold rests on top of several axles. As the wheels rotate the axles, the truck moves.hope this helps?...
