I've got an 06 f150 with the 5.4l. It's my first 4x4 vehicle and I'm just wondering if I can safely do 4wd launches with out doing damage to the transmission or transfer case... or anything else for that matter. Or should I just stick to 2wd for that sort of stuff.

 

Define launch. Jumping it?

 

launching? just be sure the rear first...



or maybe this kind of launches...

 

lol, I love the obama sticker on the rear window. effing priceless!

 

Lmao, yeah should have been more specific... I mean for like doing quarter miles and 0-60 .. and yeah the obama thing is pretty funny lol.

 

I'ma a thinkin launching in 4WD. Is going to generate a very expensive repair bill for your father.

 

It can be expensive in 2WD too. These aren't drag cars my friend. Driving them rough can break them. Those who do are normally willing to pay for the repairs.

 

Lol I wish my father was paying for my repair bills . Was really just a question out of curiousity because Ive seen people do it before and I knew it couldnt be good but figured I'd ask.

 

its my understanding that part time 4WD cars/trucks should be used in loose pavement like gravel, mud, snow, but not really for drives in the city or in the track as it put more pressure on the differential and other things... but i could be wrong...

but if i'm right, then use 4WD if the quarter mile is in mud, dont use it if is in pavement.

 

Buy a car.
