howardl Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I am thinking about converting over to part time 4wheel drive with all the front diff problems and the price of gas. Has anyone done this and how did you do it? I have a spare front diff so I think all I need is a xfer case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Wiring, switch on dash, and I bet it wont make a bit of difference on fuel economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNE Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Wiring, switch on dash, and I bet it wont make a bit of difference on fuel economy. The AWD really doesn't apply much torque to the front on a regular basis. If you notice on turns it is nothing like turning a true 4wd when it is locked in 4wd. Even with selectable, you are still turning the insides of the transfer case and the front diff. Now if you removed the transfer case and front diff. and converted to 2wd, you would see a difference.

CoolBlueSS Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 The percentage split front to rear is 38-62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevrolet SS Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 ive wanted to do it for a wile... only bad part is your gonna be 50/50 when you go to use awd/4wd after the swap and 50/50 isent as nice for awd performance and binds up pretty good in turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
