People give the quadra drive system a tough time because the diffs don't like big tires but when it works as intended it is brilliant at sending power to the wheels with traction. The ford may need a diff at the back or at least some weight on the bed to aid traction, still for an old girl she did really well especially when the standard operating procedure back then was going 20 to have all the momentum your spine could withstand 😛
Yeah the jeep and truck did two separate hills the jeep attempted the one the truck did towards the end of the video but we had a linkage issue and wouldn’t go into 4 low once we got it locked it jeep did good going up unfortunately was dark at that time. The truck will eventually be getting a locker in the rear but I’m in no hurry.
Video also doesn’t show that it was raining and ground and rocks were pretty wet match that with a fairly steep hill (video also doesn’t do justice) makes the lack of traction understandable. Truck was running 10 psi.
@@toetagracing2982 the wjs tend to have problems with the transfer lever if it isn't exercised often I guess it's because of the extra linkages to try and make the tcase lever look like a mini me gearlever compared to the more traditional lever on other jeeps. On the second climb the engine revved high but the wheels didn't match the noise, i guess because you where in high range the torque converter refused to lock up because of the high load and it spun faster than the wheels, if you didn't get a transmission temperature warning you were lucky. It happened to me on a similar situation, a long gravely/rocky incline in 4 high with a liberty.
@@toetagracing2982 video never does inclines justice what's why every off road video has a "my civic could do that" type of comment... You are a brave man to run 10 psi without bead locks on rocks.
Hahaha yeah that trans hasn’t been happy for atleast 3 years now actually to the point it has to be manually shifted but it won’t get fixed until it actually gives up. Shoot I’ve done down to 8 front and 5 rear in this old truck and they haven’t never spit a bead!
