When i go to 4+4 and back to drive can i leve it in drive?

 

Ummm, you leave it in drive when you want to move forward... Sorry, I think I'm not gettin' your question.

Also, minor point, but it's 4x4 not 4+4.

Do i haft to put it in N before i go to 4x4 or can i leave it in D

 

You can switch to 4X4 hi range while the transmission is in drive. If you choose 4x4 low range, you need to be at a complete stop with the transmission in neuteral or park.

I think this is what your asking?

Or....you can read about it in the owners manual.

 

Thanks that is what i need to know

 

ony neutral, doesnt work with park
if i remember right you dont have to be at a complete stop just rolling less than 5mph, hopefully someone will correct me if im wrong

 

My bad,
Gotta look at the owners manual again

 

Ok, for the electric shift on the fly trucks to go to low range you need to be stopped, foot on brake (with working break lights), and in Neutral (not park).

Technically you need to be moving less than 3 mph, in neutral, foot on the brake for the system to make the shift. Stopped certainly falls into the 'less than 3mph category.

Really? Takes about 20 seconds to shift on the diesel so that might be hard to keep moving. Good work, now I want to try it to see if it's doable...

Still makes me prefer the trucks in the fleet with sticks comin through the floor.

4+4=8

<3 MPH in nuetral w/ foot on the brake = stopped

 

Not necessarily... I've tried it. Shift into neutral on a slight incline, and slow down to a little faster than a walk. Flip the **** into 4low, and gently touch the brakes, just enough to cause the brake lights to come on and gently slow the vehicle. It makes a louder clunk than it does when you're stopped, but it'll do it. If you're going to fast, it won't make the shift, but will as soon as your speed drops below that 3mph threshold.

To dis-engage 4WD, one does still have to stop (in N for 4WD Low), flip the switch back to 2H, then back up about 10 feet to disengage the hubs, correct?

Andy

 

Correct, kinda. There are no hubs on the 97-03s. Backing up unlocks the Center Axle Disconnect.

(Assuming we're talking about a 97-up F-150)
No. To disengage 4 low is exactly the same as engaging it. Stop, in neutral, foot on the brake, flip the switch. No need to back up to disengage anything.
