Chas needs help - off topic ::)

I hope ht-mod will let me get by with asking an off-topic question like this:    

I just purchased a 1990 Jeep Cherokee for my daughter. There is no owner's manual, and I want to know how to operate the 4 Wheel dirve system. When I clunk it into 4H or 4L a light comes on that says "Part time."

Should I go into 4L while stopped or rolling? Can I shift on the fly - even at highway speeds?

All the previous owner said was to be sure to put the transmission into neutral - but I would like to know how to best keep this thing alive.


Perhaps someone may know of a web board or web site I can go get this info?

Did they have 4 wheel on the fly in 1990? I had a 96 Ford Ranger that I had to get out and lock the hubs on.

No locking hubs on this Jeep.

Robert....I had an 86 blazer with 4wd.  It was on the fly as far as 4wH......4wL you had to be at a stop,in park or netural,to switch to 4wheel low. Hubs had no lockouts.

I rarely/never used it.

Chas....you find the info?

Ruby gave me the address of a Jeep discussion board at Edmond.com  I have posted there (not as Mr. Sappy I assure you...) and am waiting for replies.

Thanks.

Did you get that Jeep with a DIAT system installed? That may be why it doesn't work.....

[Chas]

No DAIT - unless you mean "Dented Allover, Interior Trashed."

Actually its really nice, but that's all I could come up with on the spot.

Check Ebay for a owners manual, I've done that before.

You beat me to that one, but I didn't want post 1000 to be a smart   remark.

Hey! Great Idea. Thanks!!

You have no idea how many times I have sat at my computer asking myself "is mccall going to take a jab at this or do I have to!

I don't know whether to say congratulations on your 1000th post or recommend that you get a life, or at least a hobby!
