1983 was the last year for the "stop and Switch 2wd - 4wd"
1984 and up was Shift on the Fly...so you're good to go  ;D
Congrats on the new Eagle. Looking forward to pics.

The Shift-On-The-Fly system was officially introduced on the 1985 Eagle.

If it's in 4 wheel drive you should be able to spin all 4 tires on ice.

Thanks for the suggestion, so far I have only hit ice with the back, usually back out of the drive way. Next time I will try pulling out and see if the front tires also spin. What type of winter tires would you recommend getting. Every time I hit ice backing out the car usually stops, then if the back tires spin to much the engine stalls for some reason. I would have figured the front tires would keep me going.

Tried moving here again today in the snow, my one back tire was slipping on ice again though, Had my dad watch. He said that was the only tire slipping. The thing is that when it slipped the car stopped completely, as if the two front tires were not engaged and I had it set into four wheel drive, runs fine so I wonder what the problem could be with her?

Just wondering  does any one know where I can find a window channel/weather stripping for my 84 Eagle's drive side door, fond a PRECISION REPLACEMENT PARTS ALL-RUBBER WINDOW CHANNELS at JC whitney but do not know if it will fit or what type/style to get. Has any on here ever used them for parts or window channels.
