my nephew just bought an xj while it was in park and running he put it in 4wl then the power steering hose blew does that have anything to do with it

 

At least it blew now instead of when he was driving around a corner... is the hose itself okay? Did it just blow off? I'm wondering if the PO didn't rig something up to avoid buying a new hose since it blew right after he bought it.

 

I didn't get to see it yet. how bad is it to put it in 4 wheel in park I have a 5spd in mine

 

It should be just the same as doing it in neutral. Except 4 low maybe. I don't have 4wd but I've heard a million different things. Some say autos like to be shifted in neutral and stopped. Some say in neutral and less than 5 mph.

 

4 hi you can shift into while in drive. But for my 4 low I have to be in neutral. Mines a 2000 automatic

 

Did you develop a power steering leak also?

 

the hose broke after he got it out of 4wd he fixed the line ill be going over there tomorrow to check it out thanks for your help

 

The power steering hose has nothing to do with the transfer case, it's just a coincidence.

 

everything is good with his xj thanks for the help and when he builds it we will put it on the build thread
