#18 of 77 new owner by cwebb0455 Mar 21, 2007 (8:38 pm)
i recently bought an 04 dakota 4x4 and have NO clue how to use the 4x4 option. i know i have to put the drive in neutral then turn the switch to either high or low 4, but can i do this while driving or do i have to be stopped? Replies to this message: nmacha1 (Mar 22, 2007 7:41 am)

Replying to: cwebb0455 (Mar 21, 2007 8:38 pm) well is it manual or auto? i have an manual and 4wd high can be done rolling in gear under 55 mph and 4wd low is done in neutral at dead stop or barely moving . when done with it you should put it in reverse and go back the length of the truck.

Replying to: radneydakota (Mar 25, 2007 11:18 pm) I dont know the answer to your question about max tire size... but I do know that if you change from stock size, you may need to reporgram the onboard computer to compensate. Otherwise your speedometer will be incorrect and your ABS brakes may misbehave.

Replying to: radneydakota (Mar 25, 2007 11:18 pm) The maximum manufacturer's recommended tire size for '97 -'04 Dakota is:   15 inch = P235/75R15 XL   16 inch = P265/70R16 (8" wide wheel only)   17 inch = P255/55R17 (with R/T package only)   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: shopdog97 (Oct 24, 2009 9:09 am)

I have the same problem that someone else has posted. My 01 dodge dakota began shifting into 4 wheel drive when I go around sharp corners and especially city driving. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the transfer case shift motor and charged me $747 dollars. A week later it was doing it again but by the time I got it back to the dealer it stoped doing it and they said it was fine. I know this problem is going to come back. Years ago I did have the recall done for the transfer switch programming. Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: salvatorp (Sep 13, 2007 2:48 pm) Just a suspicion, but this could be a Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) issue.   If the wiring is good and you've got a solid electrical ground to the transfer case and the transmission, the TCCM is about the only thing left.   Good luck, Dusty
