That sucks will, I'd push the dealer a little and see if they cave.

 

No, i couldnt find where it said rain was slippery, but on the plus side for you, i couldnt find where it DIDNT say not to do it in the rain either. it does specifically say not to do it on dry. (nowhere that i found quickly did it say not do it on wet)

So you might be able to use that if they give you a hard time. maybe.

 

Good call Happy. You definitely have a case there. The manual specifically says not to drive it on "dry" surfaces. Last time I checked, the road was wet when it rained.

 

i dont understand why you were in 4hi on the pavement when raining anyway. what good is 4wheel drive going to do....nothing, its there to keep you moving not help stop you, or keep you from slidding. if you start to slide, 4hi isnt going to help you at all, unless you know how to feather the gas to bring you back, but thats pretty hard. even then, whats the point....i dont understand how poeple can own 4x4s and not know this....even if you dont break a drive shaft, you are putting serious strain on the ball joints etc...its just going to wear them out.

 

yes... i think he understand this now...no need to kick somebody who's already down

 

its your own fault.... unless your tires are SHOT you do not need 4WD in the RAIN... how poor of a driver are you? I can do Blue3s off road in 2WD!.

That being said; unless 'slippery' is defined exactly, then the term is meaningless.

In any case; I would be hard pressed to force the dealer to replace something you broke...

Larger tires = more traction = more force on the driveline... :(

My old TJ on RT/S tires (completely worthless tires) would NEED 4WD in the rain to hold turns...

my MT/Rs hold on like trying to dump your first girlfriend...

 

Keep in mind...95% (exactly...I checked ), of the cars on the road drive just fine in the rain and don't have any 4x4 propulsion. (all wheel drive is different).

 

I hate to say it, but your tires are way too large for the Dana 30 axle in your front end. You'll continue to have problems with those tires on, and especially if you do any serious wheelin....

 

Sorry man but you pretty much summed it up right there..........

Also by reading what you described as to what broke you don't know the difference between a driveshaft and an axle shaft. Thinking maybe a Jeep 101 course might be what you need.

 

He sure did. (for those of you who didn't catch it, he misspelled "moron")
