Ask an Engineer feedback

[opjohnny]

The Dodge side was looking for some feedback in post 99 about type of hubs wanted (manual or auto) and if a nonbinding type of 4wd was wanted. I don't think many members saw this. There seems to be no place to add feed back for the Engineers questions of us. I for one would have liked manual hubs but never thought about nonbinding 4wd.

? Would non-binding mean doing away with the solid front axle?

Non binding is full time 4WD with tcase differential

I too would like manual hubs. I have laways had them on all my other trucks and really enjoyed using them.

I too would prefer manual locking hubs. I had them on my 74 Jeep and love them. I also believe that this would help in a fuel mileage improvement over the current design, by 1 to 2 MPG. This would also save on tire wear.

Just my $0. 02

We can only hope the Dodge engineers see this. They had other questions in the post besides hubs.

Real trucks have manual hubs
