low range

[tweak'e]

Does anyone know if this is really the case?

Some are saying its ok and some say its not ok?

what i can't tell you is how much driving in 2L before things start to break.
i do little bits on/off and nothing broken yet. i wouldn't advise driving km's in 2L.

I would have thought the biggest danger of low range 2WD was the amount of multiplied torque going through one diff. Even if only driven a short distance, ie pulling a boat out of the water. The amount of extra strain could easily brake a diff our drive shaft.

Some misguided advice IMO.

i doubt the extra strain is a big deal unless your reving the crap out of it and dropping the clutch. the low gearing is only 1 below 1H. driveline torque shouldn't be a problem unless you have crawler gears fitted.

i used low range 2 wd towing the bike trailer up steepish hills,it just gives easier throttle response and better pick up...very handy when 4wd is not required
