hey guys,

im in the market for a 2nd gen 4runner. I went to test drive one today.When I engaged 4wd, and hit the gas,it jerked. It feels like its binding on something. What problem is this? its a 95 auto and automatic hubs. thanks!

Were you driving it on dry pavement when you put it into 4wd?

 

yea it was clear.Ive driven others and this problem never occurred

You should not be driving on dry pavement, or any other high-traction surface in 4wd.

There are lots of things this could be- bad diff, 4wd not engaging all the way, binding of the 4wd on dry pavement, something in the tranny or t-case, different gear ratios front-back...

 

Also, it doesnt have Auto Hubs, it has Automatic Differential Disconnect, or ADD

There IS a HUGE difference, so for future reference, FYI.
