Can anyone confirm what's the recommended maximum speed is when your in 4x4 drive mode on a 83 SX/4 Eagle (4.2L with model 129 transfer case)?
I've heard that any vehicle that requires stopping to engage 4x4 drive has a recommended max speed limit of 45mph when in 4x4 mode? And exceeding this speed limit could result in transmission or transfer case failure or damage?
No max speed limitations on the Eagles.
Pedal to the metal.
As has been said give it h e l l
Without getting into technicalities 129 transfer cases can compensate for minor differences in front-to-rear driveline rotational speeds. As long as the tires are approximately the same size all around you can drive it as fast as conditions permit. The only reason you need to stop to engage is to give the front axle the opportunity to engage. :eagle:
