Go into a field or somewhere with stones turn you 4x4 on if it is in good condition not one of the four wheels should spin.
If the back wheels slip / spin it automatically will transfer some of the power to the front wheels
You need to adjust the cable on the brake.
ok it should have lock in hubs so pull your 4x4 switch onto 4x4 high and get out and turn your hubs on both sides on your front wheels
It depends on the torque distribution, the power of the car, and how many revs you give the start. A big, off-road 4x4 will have about a 40/60 front/rear torque distribution, meaning that with enough revs, yes, they will all spin. But a sportier 4x4 system, such as a Subaru Impreza, the distribution is about 30/70, while the answer may still be yes, however it will not be a balanced spin, the rear wheels will spin far faster than the back.
www.wheelfire.com is the best place to find used 4x4 wheels. they have quality used 4x4 wheels and are priced well. you never have to worry about wheels from wheel fire.
Pickups that offer 4x4 means that all four axels work at the same time. The transmission is configured to work with each axel to turn at the same time where as a 4x2 will only turn the front two axels at the same time.
4x2 is propeled by only 2 wheels but w/ extra H-Power the 4x4 is propeled by all 4 wheels w/ the same amount of H-Power.
A 4x2 vehicle has 4 wheels with the 2 rear wheels that drive. A 4x4 vehicle has 4 wheels with all 4 wheels that drive.
a 4x4 truck is a truck that instead of only using power for 2 wheels, it uses power for all 4 wheels instead.
Posibilites: Blown rear differential, when the front wheels go around does the rear drive shaft? Blown transfer case: Same test as above but the rear drive shaft does not spin. Is there a rear drive shaft? ( I have seen this ) Customer damaged the Rear "U" joint off road and rear drive shaft fell out with out driver knowing.
The tow truck driver must make sure that the 4x4 is disengaged (if it is 4x4) first of all. Then they have to put it in neutral so it will coast behind the tow truck. Since Ford Explorers are rear-wheel drive, you must hook up from the rear wheels, so the front wheels can spin easily.
