Tire Tips 101: Load Range vs weight rating and more (LOAD)

Mis information in that article too....

They assume ( like most) that the E rated tire is always of heavier construction but, that only applied to the tires they tested not the KO2. The KO2 in 315/70-17 is the same dang tire, C or E range, at 65 lbs each. There is no additional durability built in that is any advantage off road.

I had the similar issue with my 4L engagement and disengagement. The cause was the front thrust bearing broke and damage the planetary gear in the transfer case. Not cheap so I would have the dealer check it out before your warranty expires. The shop foreman said he had a few other trucks with the same issues and suspect the bearing was defected prior to assembly.

Cheers.

Yea. It says "delay pull forward" and then you have no drive gear.

Yep, the same issue was having.

Did it also occasionally degrade into full on grinding if you kept trying to get it in drive?

Also was the fix to go back to neutral, switch back to 2H and start over....or if stuck in 4l, switch back to 4l wait a minute and then start over trying to go back to 2h?

Did it switch between 4H and 2H without issue?

What was the fix (i have apt for Thursday)

Yes it work fine from 2H to 4H.

The dealership replaced the thrust bearing and planetary gear.

Any chance there is also secondary damage from the grinding? I only screwed with it 3 times before making an apt and each time i quickly put it in neutral when it grinded....but who knows how many times the previous owner ground it.

Its hard to say, the secondary damage to mine was the planetary gear.
