Did Ape’s article help answer your question?Can someone explain Select-Trac to me and why I would want it? I’ve watch the video online and it just seems to explain the basics of four wheel drive.
I read through it. But I think I'm too new to it to make sense of it.Did Ape’s article help answer your question?
SelecTrac allows you to put your Jeep in 4WD even if you're still on dry pavement. You could even leave it in "full time" 4WD all summer without damage to drive lines & axles. With the "part time" 4WD systems, the drive train will bind up and break stuff unless there's some slip (like dirt or snow) to allow the 4 wheels to spin at different rates. In turns, every wheel spins at different speeds.Can someone explain Select-Trac to me and why I would want it? I’ve watch the video online and it just seems to explain the basics of four wheel drive.

I thought that might be the case. He it is in less technical terms. Most traditionally (always exceptions) the wrangler and many 4x4 that are not crossovers, but true body on frames have 4 positions in the transfer case. 2WD H, 4WD H (part time), N, and 4 WD L. Typical uses for these positions (again exceptions are out there) include:I read through it. But I think I'm too new to it to make sense of it.
Wait what?!?! Mind blown. Of all the things not to have understood about my XJ. Guess I came from too old school and understood to never put anything 4WD on dry pavement. Oh well it's long gone now...SelecTrac allows you to put your Jeep in 4WD even if you're still on dry pavement.
The only draw back is it does not have the 4:10 ratio for slower crawling as the RockTrac tcase has, although the 4 low is 2:7?? Something, Ape want to help my memory here? Still sufficient for most off roading. I also believe the RockTrac tcase can handle a bit more torque and the casing itself is stronger.Is Select-Track less robust than a traditional setup? Are there downsides off road?
It has been available in the past on various models. Lots of crossover unibody SUV have a version of 4WD (full time) although SelecTrac is unique to Jeep. It will also be offered in the JL Sahara Trim.But not yet available, correct?
Ah yes, thank you. But not currently offered on Sahara trim...The only draw back is it does not have the 4:10 ratio for slower crawling as the RockTrac tcase has, although the 4 low is 2:7??
