q/t question

[AlsChopShop]

how would i know if the quadratrac emergency mode is fully engaged, and more importantly disengaged, besides the light on the dash? i don't want to believe a little light bulb when burning up a transfer case is at risk.

If it is in e-drive, the front tires will buck and lurch when you try to make a turn on dry pavement.

Yup to what Patrick said, that plus if you try to get up to hwy speeds she'll be squealin at ya like a stuck pig.

Great question... I have an E-drive switch and a new glovebox insert on the way, so I'll be hooking mine up sometime soon... good to know what to expect if I get it hooked up wrong...

when in normal mode if i turn sharp and accellerate hard there is a slight wobble feeling until the wheel is straight. its just enough wobble to notice, but not horribly alarming. is this normal?

yes, because a good working QT has a limited slip differential between the front and rear outputs... there should be SOME wobble on tight turns..

I thought the front and rear outputs were LOCKED together in E-drive... that there was no slippage between front and rear.

He said he was getting a slight wobble in normal mode making a tight turn. You'd know the difference between a slight wobble and the bucking and lurching when it's locked in e-drive- It feels like stuff is going to bind and snap almost.

The other thing to keep in mind is, sometimes you'll feel a little grabbing when turning slowly on dry pavement. Sometimes it's due to "slip stick" if the case hasn't been drained and filled with fresh fluid in awhile.

If that's the case, filler up with fresh Q/T fluid and then head out and drive the rig in figure 8's for awhile. It will force the fluid over the cones. Just don't do this on pavement.
