dodge ram 1500 2014

[mike]

g’day
just bought a dodge ram 1500 2014 3.6 6 cylinder outdoorsman

now this has 4×4

one sales guy told me i can switch to 4×4 on the fly and another one told me to stop and do it

which one is correct?

also i know that if i have to switch from 2wd to 4×4 low i have to be going approx 5 km per/hr and from what i understand this is for only going really slow?

and yes this is my first 4X4 lol

thanks

Did you try reading the owners manual? There is loads of useful info in there.

Yes I did
The manual says one thing and sales guy says another

The people who built the vehicle wrote the manual, the sales guy….well, he is a knucklehead.

If you are switching to 4×4 high then you can switch it on the fly, if you are switching to 4×4 low then come to a complete stop put it in neutral and then shift it. If you have the push button 4×4 that system is nice because its fail proof if the shift conditions are not met then it wont shift so no damage to your t case hope this helps.

And i forgot to add yes 4×4 low is indeed for going slow and i dont recommend using either 4×4 modes if the roads are not slick its not for dry pavement they dont like that lol its ok when going straight but if you turn on dry pavement it will bind and jerk lol
