4x4 problems
I'm planning on going wheeling tomorrow at a local off road park and I was wondering if there parts that are prone to breaking when I would be doing this? I have a 91 F150 with 4.9 and auto trans
Components in the drive train are under more stress when wheeling and dependent on the obstacle stress levels increase especially components related to the front drive train. Lockout hubs, axle shafts/u-joints, front diff, transfer case and drive shafts/u-joints. Steering components and brakes. Anything that has been replaced then you know the condition should be good.
A good thing to remember when wheeling is "less is more" small controlled movements with out the requirement of alot of power to the wheels as opposed to just enough power to clear the obstacle. More power increases the likelihood of failure.
