Thank you so much for clarifying this. It was hastily explained at the dealership. So far, I’m loving my 2021 4Xe. I didn’t know how much of a beast this Jeep truly was.
Excellent video! I’ve never had to use 4 wheel part time. 4 wheel auto Has always been more than sufficient in snow upwards to 8 inches and moderate off-roading. With that said, it’s an absolute must to have a set a tires that are up for the task.
The video clips in slow motion were a fantastic idea. Very clearly shows the results of the mechanical differences between the modes. I personally wish the RockTrac 4:1 transfer case had a 4 H auto mode on my 18 3.6 JLUR for better traction in heavy rainstorms while on pavement.
Thank you very much! As a new Jeep 4Xe owner, I was looking for exactly this info! Switched to 4H auto today from 2H…and man, what an amazing difference! It’s like a whole different animal, this car! Thanks again for this awesome demo!!!
Woo hoo! It finally arrived! Today we picked up a white Sahara 4xe with saddle leather, sky one touch, and all the safety & tech packages. The battery is
I'm assuming two wheel drive is better for gas mileage on dry pavement. Four wheel auto is better for wet pavement and four part time is for dirt or off-road. I'm still confused on turning traction control on or off.
So what you’re saying is the 4H in the 4XE is is a Center locker. I didn’t know that was the case, usually 4A are primarily rear biased, and engage the front axle when more power is requested or slip is noticed. Can we get a link to your references? I’d love to look more into this! That would mean that the Rubicon 4XE has 3 lockable diffs which is freaking amazing if accurate!
Great video Brandon. May I suggest that you do another video while turning the steering wheel full left or full right in both 4H Auto, and in 4H Part-Time. That way the viewer can see the wheel hop in the front axle (especially on dry pavement) while turning in 4H Part-Time, and then no wheel hop, or axle binding while turning in 4H Auto.
@@BrandonHaneline Exactly! That was my point. Demonstrate what will happen on dry pavement if you use 4H Part-time, which you should never do. Many newbies put their brand new Jeep in 4H and then complain about wheel hop, screeching tires, etc. They don't understand that the entire drive train is binding up because 4H is NOT for dry pavement.
@@tmar9159 lol at asking him to demonstrate what it looks like to damage your $60k jeep. Yeah I realize it probably won’t do any damage doing it once, but it’s certainly not good for it.
Great videos keep them coming. I owned a 2.0 2019 Sahara prior to my 2021 4xe and it also had 4HA. The 4HA works great in almost all slippery situations. When the white stuff dumps hard in Iowa the 4HPT is great to get through thick snow but isn’t the best option for dry roads or hard packed snow or ice compared to 4HA.
Right, part-time is locked center diff and locks front to back just like a locking diff locks left to right and vice versa. 4wd auto is basically open center and is like the "open diff" of front to back.
I always describe it as power output. In 2wd 100% goes to the rear, in 4auto it’s split (I believe) 46/54 to allow for mechanical slippage and not “bind” the drivetrain when turning, 4part is a 50/50 even but will cause binding.
@@BrandonHaneline I just bought a 2023 jeep wrangler willys a month ago and you have the only channel out there that gets right to the point and so informative! Thankyou for all of your knowledge my friend! 😄👍👍👍
This should be required viewing before you drive off the dealership's lot. So many people don't understand this and how easy it is to break your Jeep if you are in the wrong transfer case mode for the conditions.
From page 168 of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe owners manual. “Driving the vehicle in 2WD will have greater fuel economy benefits as the front axle is not engaged in 2WD. For variable driving conditions, the 4WD AUTO mode can be used. In this mode, the front axle is engaged, but the vehicle's power is sent to the rear wheels. Four-wheel drive will be automatically engaged when the vehicle senses a loss of traction. Because the front axle is engaged, this mode will result in lower fuel economy than the 2WD mode. In the event that additional traction is required, the transfer case 4WD High and 4WD Low positions can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together, forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. The 4WD High and 4WD Low positions are intended for loose, slippery road surfaces only and not intended for normal driving. Driving in the 4WD High and 4WD Low positions on hard-surfaced roads will cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components. Refer to "Shifting Procedures" in this section for further information on shifting into 4WD High or 4WD Low. The instrument cluster alerts the driver that the vehicle is in four-wheel drive, and the front and rear driveshafts are locked together. The light will illuminate when the transfer case is shifted into the 4WD High position.”
Cool demo. Nice job. Love the AWD mode since that is best on road in icy conditions & why modern crossovers are better than traditional trucks in those conditions
I’ve noticed regen is greater in 4ha when breaking vs 2wd. But only when the e-save mode is set to recharge not save mode. Been needing to test distance with 4ha with cruise control vs not. Also notice that traction control off gets better range as well.
I fully agree. It confused me as well at first. Part time here refers not to the type of engagement, but to its intended use. You should only use this mode in case of slippery roads or rough terrain, not on paved roads, hence part time. 4H auto instead is the equivalent of full time: you can use it on any terrain, any time. Essentially you can leave your Wrangler in 4H auto and never look back at it (although 2H should be preferred to maximize fuel efficiency).
Couldn’t agree more - Exactly, ‘part time’ is really a centre diff lock. Should be named ‘4H Lock’. Wonder how many people are driving around in 4H part time because of the incorrect name, then ruining their drive line.
Thanks so much for that Brandon ... this being my first wrangler my rubicon 4xe will see more 4auto usage . Still waiting from the dealer to schedule me for that check engine issue we texted about. I will let you know what comes of it...Charles
@@BrandonHaneline I appreciate it that. I ordered my 4xe Rubicon November 12th and waiting for it to come in. I watched the video of you using your 4xe as a generator for your house a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely amazed. I have been practically binge watching your videos and have learned so much. I am pretty average when it comes to knowledge about vehicles so I usually have to take notes and then research the word to something if I don’t know it but I am definitely smarter after watching this. One question I do have is which brand/type level 2 charger would you recommend purchasing and what all do I need to set it up? Do you have a video on that already that I just missed? Also I bought the black Rubicon with the blue stitched leather for the interior. I did the 3 peice hard top but with just the normal black finders and top not the color matched because I personally thought it looked more like a true Jeep with the classic look without the color match.
The Black on blue accents looks Awesome!! There is a 2 That I can recommend one is the juice charger amzn.to/3yTpDsB and the other one I personally have is the charge point amzn.to/3sd8fh0 they both are good.
At 2:29 you say that the power is gonna go to whichever wheel has more traction but I think that is not correct and that the opposite is true i.e. power goes to the path of least resistance thus the wheels with less traction. Please correct me if Im wrong. You also say that on 4H part time the case is locked and power goes to front and rear wheels equally but this is inacccurate as the power goes to the front and rear axles equally but not necessarily to all wheels equally which would only happen with front and rear diff lock (Rubicon available only).
Thanks Brandon, I'm keeping my 4xe in 4h auto from now on. Dude I learn so much from your videos it's unbelievable. Many thanks for putting out these content. Puzzle for you, where is the picture of a pair of slipper on the 4xe jeep?
Really stupid question but I'll ask. is this the reason why when i go into 4wd Part-time on regular pavement and try to make a sharp turn and my steering wheel jerks and shakes....hence why we are only suppose to drive in snow or mud in 4wd part time? correct? ....because for the longest time i thought something was wrong with my 4wd system.
No, my friend. What makes part time and full time or auto different is that when you make a crossing on asphalt the differential will not be locked, which will allow the wheels to spin. Remember that when you cross the 4 wheels they rotate at different speeds and different trajectories, this is solved with the center differential; If it does not exist, it would damage the elements of the transfer case and wear out the tires. In a straight line you don't have any problem, the problem is when crossing. In part time it forces all four wheels to rotate at the same speed and trajectory, taking greater advantage of traction on soft ground.
Can you drive around town or long distances in 4H Auto? Especially as winter and snow is likely to happen? is it going to damage the vehicle? what about just rain? Thank you! I really enjoy your videos, you are explaining everything as if I were 5 and I love it. This is what I need. Thank you!
Very Good! However, I feel like they misnamed the 4H Part Time, (and maybe even the 4-H Auto). 4-H Auto is a lot like "All Wheel Drive", and you said that, I know. Frankly, I think it may be exactly like All Wheel drive, but to know that, I'd have to see a test where at least one wheel is in the air and the other two or three are contacting a surface, (like going over large obstacles, big rocks, etc.). Anyway, 4-H Part Time is the way I've always seen 4-wheel drive vehicles work, (I'm talking way back to 1973/74 when my friends and I messed around with a 1968/69 4-W Bronco). Jeep calls their 4-W Drive, (high or Low), "Part Time", which implied to me that the 4-W drive function only worked when it needed to, (like when it sensed a need for more torque on a given wheel or something). I think I would have left it as "4W-H (or L) Auto" and then the other option would be named "4W-H (or L) Full". That "Part Time" name they gave to that function really doesn't make sense to me. I mean, what's "Part Time" about it? In fact, the "Auto" function should be called "Part Time" because the only reason the front wheels spun faster than the rear wheels was because the weight of the vehicle shifted to the rear. That gave the rear wheels more traction and took weight off the front, which caused the front to spin. If you would have positioned the Jeep on an incline, (facing down hill), and put the jeep in reverse, when you did the same power-brake acceleration you would have seen the rear wheels spin and the front would have had the traction. It seems that "Part Time" would have been more applicable than Auto, but that's just me. Really, it's the "4W-H Part Time" name they gave to that function, which is a "true" 4Wheel Drive behavior and nothing is "Part Time" about it, (and I know that's not 'just me', LOL). Thanks for clearing up the way these 'strangely named' functions worked. I gave a Thumbs Up, without a doubt! Rich
Appreciate the vid! Now at least I know what's going on mechanically. Still don't know why they call it "part time" though. I guess cuz it would be bad to have it on all the time...?
Wrong. It will automatically push the fork in the differential to engage the front driveline. It is switched electronically as all ‘auto’ things work. It’s like the push button 4h in some vehicles. A Solenoid is activated.

No, my friend. What makes part time and full time or auto different is that when you make a crossing on asphalt the differential will not be locked, which will allow the wheels to spin. Remember that when you cross the 4 wheels they rotate at different speeds and different trajectories, this is solved with the center differential; If it does not exist, it would damage the elements of the transfer case and wear out the tires.

If you're always driving on 4H as compared to 2H, does that affect the electrical range or gas?
Which is better for someone who will primarily use a Jeep for off-road?
Mine just has 2 high and 4 high. There is no “auto” designation so does that mean I don’t have 4 high auto and can’t use it full time?

Totally agree. Why call it Part Time when it’s Full 4WD?
Question. My sahara is horrible on wet, it dangerously understeers, would "transfer case lock" aka "4H part-time" be better than 4H Auto?
You were showing the undriven side on the rear.
Wrong. It will automatically push the fork in the differential to engage the front driveline. It is switched electronically as all ‘auto’ things work. It’s like the push button 4h in some vehicles. A Solenoid is activated.
So why does the 4 hi auto t case have cv joints in the front diff and the normal t case have u joints? 🤔

How is fuel economy in 4H Auto compare to 2H? How much more you expect to consume In 4H A ? Thanks
Brandon - curious what your thoughts are now that Jeep has discontinued the Selec-Trac (4H auto) option in the 2023/2024 models
4wd part time is another name for a center locking differential FYI
I have jeep Cherokee liberty kj 2003 3.7cc the part- time is 50-50 and the full-time is 48-52?? which of the two can i use in the dry???
Question for you in this- does the 4Auto vs 2H have any impact on the electric only range?
If there is any difference, the range difference is not measureable.
Great explanation. Much better explained then the dealership salesman. Is this the same on 2021 jeep Willy’s? Regular auto also when would I use 4 Low
Thank you for that information
Why didn’t they call it 4WD Lock, makes so much more sense
are you 100% sure that on h4-auto ou can drive permanently on dry clean pavements lifetime including highways???
All day on 4hi auto. NOT PART TINE THOUGH IT HAS TO SAY AUTO. some Jeeps don’t have 4h auto.
