On-demand 4-wheel drive transfer case with one operating range - the only operating range is 4-high. Optional on 2004 Laredo models only.
Operating Modes: 4WD High, full-time
Center Differential: Planetary with low-range lock
Torque Split: F/R 48/52
On-demand 4-wheel drive transfer case with two operating ranges and a neutral position. Operating ranges are 4-high and 4-low. The 4-low range is used for extra pulling power in off-road situations. Utilizes a gerotor coupling to automatically send torque to the front driveshaft when wheel slippage occurs.
Operating Modes:
4WD High
Low Range Ratio: 2.72:1
Center Differential: Gerotor pump-applied disc clutch with low-range lock
Torque Split: Variable (0-100%)
Provides full time 2-wheel, or 4-wheel drive operation. A differential in the transfer case is used to control torque transfer to the front and rear axles. A low range gear provides increased low speed torque capability for off road operation. The geartrain is mounted in two aluminum case halves attached with bolts. The mainshaft front and rear bearings are mounted in aluminum retainer housings bolted to the case halves.
Operating Modes:
2WD
Low Range Reduction Ratio: 2.72:1
Center Differential: Open, Planetary with low-range lock
Torque Split: F/R 48/52
On demand, utilizes a gerotor and coupling in the Quadra-Trac II transfer case and gerotor couplings in the Vari-Lok front and rear progressive axles to send torque to the front driveshaft and/or from side-to-side within each axle when wheel slippage occurs; includes low-range (2.72:1)
