Daihatsu Transfer Case Q?

[meece4x4]

Most of the time my Feroza is down the back of the farm running over rough grass paddocks or on rutted rough muddy cattle races that requires more slow speed rather than traction, (with the rear LSD I have found that I rarely require the extra traction from the front). what i want to know is it safe to run the transfer case in 4wd LO range in 2wd? IE 4wdLO selected but free wheeling hubs not engaged?? and if so is it safe to do it for say 30% of the Fez's driving time?

it would save the wear and tear on the clutch having to constantly feather the clutch over the ruts if I could just run it in 2wdLO and save a lot of time and hassle getting in and out unlocking the manual hubs for highway driving. Important for me as I have limited mobility and getting in and out of the Fez is time consuming and painfull at the moment.

For the life of me I should know this ... put it down to the Meds
cheers Meece.

I honestly can't say in a truck-specific reply - but in general there should be no problem doing what you are doing - in fact it should reduce wear on some items, like the clutch. And its going to have the front drive train running with no load, which shouldn't cause any problems... All in all I'd say you'll be fine... go for it...

thanks Supra, thats going to make my life a lot easier not having to get in and out all the time.
