I have an '01 Dodge Dakota with AWD. It has a selector for AWD, or 4HI, or 4LO.
In all wheel drive, all the wheels will drive, but the front and rear axles are connected through a differential, meaning if one axle starts spinning, the other slows down. There is no binding on dry pavement. It handles ice and snow very well, and is a joy to drive in the winter in normal driving conditions, good skid recovery. I CAN make the rear end break loose, but I have to TRY to.
Put it in 4 HI it will lock the front and rear axles together and drive just like any other 4x4. Same with 4LO. I go there when the snow is deep, the conditions warrant it.
Since it is selectable for normal 4HI/4LO I consider it the best type of AWD system to have. It's not smart at all, no computer traction controls, I wouldn't mind if it had traction control, since it can be shifted to normal 4x4. However, I don't think anyone makes them like this anymore, which is a shame. I'd love to have another. Even better in an SUV for the wife.

The dealerships call it a discontinued part. Salvage yards define it as hard to find or, even worse, rare. Everyone on the NET says, 'what is it?' But don�t despair there is another avenue that can be used to get that piece repaired. The local mach
