    4-low Speed

    I do not have my manual with me and I was wondering if anyone knows what the max speed for 4-L is?

    The manual does not indicate a speed limitation for 4-L. I would venture to say you would not want to exceed 30-40 mph.

    Chances are you may redline / rev limit after anything higher then that and it would not be to good for the gears.

    4-L should only be used off road or really snowy conditions where you really need some bite from the front tires.

    For all other low gears while in High:

    L = 35 mph
    2 = 65 mph
    3 = 65 mph

    Probably a bit high, but Scott (Moncha) has posted of going 50mph, which is still pretty quick for 4low.

    Several of us have done over 50 in Moab while in Lo but it is not recommended. In the ‘99 manual on page 2-21 it states the max recommended speed in L is 35MPH...

    That page in the manual is referring to 4-High not 4-Low.

    Should not be looking up data late at night when ill...anyway, I believe it is stated in the 4x4 manual that accompanied the owners manual and states 45MPH max but I could be wrong again...

    4x4 Low Question

    When I excelerate, after shifting into 4x4 low, I notice the truck hesitate (i.e... I hit the gas, the engine revs, a delay, then the truck takes off) Is this normal? Might I be low on fluids?
