4 Wheel drive issue excessive drag on engine
When I put the jeep into 4 wheel I have to really mash the gas down to get going and the engine really strains to keep up. It don't matter if it's full or part time, it seems as though it's getting worse. I was kinda thinking the gearing was off " front or rear different" but not real sure that it would drive straight in snow if the rear was pushing or dragging.
This is in snow maybe a few inches, nothing too deep to cause the drag or too little to cause binding.

Are the front tires worn evenly? Even the slightest difference in diameter will cause binding, but that is in with a traditional Tcase, odd it does it in Ftime.
