Probley have a bad 4x4 Actuator in the front left side of the differential HOUSING. It is towards the center of the housing on the left when standing in the front of the truck.
Yes, assuming the car has four wheels, four-wheel-drive is the same thing as all-wheel-drive. Not always, four wheel drive provides a positive lock between the front and rear axles. All wheel drive has a differential between them most of the time.
2001 kia sportage will not lock into four wheel say it in four wheel drive but front wheels dont pull or lock in
a srrewed up axle, tranny, or somethnig is binding.
No, and I'd be skeptical that any of them are "one wheel drive"... there's usually a differential on the drive axle... a typical warehouse forklift will have one axle driving, while the type used for specialized, outdoor purposes will have power to both axles. In most cases, these are non-posi differentials, so, if a wheel spins out, the differential will not lock, and all the torque will spin out of that wheel.
The hubs lock the axel to the hub, which drives the wheel. With the transfer case in 2WD, the rear driveshaft drives the rear wheels. Without front hubs, in 2WD, as the front tires roll, they spin the axles and the front driveshaft. With lock out hubs, in 2WD and the hubs unlocked only the tires spin. However, in 4WD if you forget to lock the hubs, only the driveshafts and axles spin. When I lived in MI, in the winter I always kept my hubs "locked", this way I could shift into 4WD whenever I needed to without getting out in the cold to "lock" the hubs.
On part time 4 wheel drive vehicles, there are quick turn locking mechanisms on the front axles that either egage or disengage the wheels to the front drive shafts coming out of the front differentials. Unlocking them helps save on gas as well as wear and tear on mechanicle parts by letting the front wheels spin freely when not using four wheel drive. The transfer case diengages the other end of the drive train from the front end.
A friend of mine had the same problem and he just had to jump out and lock the hubs manually to get his 4x4 working.
when a diff is locked,it causes both axles to receive equal drive at same time. a diff that is not locked has drive 70% power to one axle therefore if for example the drive wheel is stuck in mud, it will spin while other whell does not drive. to lock diffs, you stop the wheel spinning, then engage diff lock. this then supplies power to both wheels enabling the dry wheel to drive you out of where you are stuck
What is the n onthe 4 wheel knod
If You have Manual Locking Front Hubs, Then the 4 wheel drive will not work/drive the front 2 wheels at all without, Locking-Them-In . Do Not Lock and use the 4 wheel drive on Dry Pavement.

If you have lock outs or free spinning front hubs, you turn the center of each front hub to lock them in. If you don't have lock outs, they lock in when you put it in four wheel drive. To unlock them, take it out of four wheel and slowly back up 3 to 5 feet.
