It's best not to drive in either low or high 4wd on hard surfaces, unless the system is specifically designed to be full time 4wd. Jeep's version of this on the CJ was called quadratrac, but it was not very popular, and required additional maintenance over the part-time 4wd systems.

How can you tell if your 2002 gmc envoy is a 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive?

If it has 4-wheel drive you would see controls on the dash to engage 2-wheel high, 4-wheel high or 4-wheel low.


My 1999 Chevy Blazer is stuck in 4Lo how do i get it out and back into 2Hi?

You have to be stopped with the transmission in neutral when you shift in or out of low 4 wheel drive. Park doesn't work as neutral. When you push the rocker switch up for high 4 wheel drive once you will be in high 4 wheel drive, push it again for high 2 wheel drive, you can shift between high 2 and 4 wheel drive while you are driving.

Is it OK to drive in 4 Wheel Drive all the time on pavement with a 2004 Jeep Liberty Limited?

Answer Its fine as long as you have and engage the "Full Time" 4 Wheel drive lever in your Jeep Liberty. Full Time 4 Wheel Drive can be used on any surface including pavement. Dont use the "Part Time" setting, as that is only for 4 Wheel Drive use on sand or snow. Using it on pavement can severely wear down your tires, reduce your gas mileage, and prematurely wear your 4 Wheel Drive components. Actually, I've heard the other way around. And according to the manual, you're not supposed to drive very fast in full time, while in part time you can go up to 45. If you want to do highway driving on the pavement, you're best to stick with two wheel drive, not to mention the extra gas four wheel drive burns. The manual says that you can't drive in 4 wheel high. Depending on what transmission you have, you either have 4 high, 4 low, and 2 wheel drive, or 4 high full, 4 high part, 4 low, and 2 wheel drive. 4 high full, is just that, full time. You can engage it up to 50mph. It doesn't wear anything since those components are already moving. 4 low is for off road, and slow conditions only.
