- I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
You’re thinking the 4404 AWD T-case used behind the V8. And you’re absolutely right about them rolling away. The 44-05 used in the V6 Explorer doesn’t have the viscous coupler. It’s an electronic actuated 4wd to control slip... then returns to 2wd.Yes, that is a problem, the AWD
AWD transmissions can't be used as is in a 2WD, the AWD transfer case will "roll" even if manual trans is in gear with engine off, it uses a viscous coupling so BOTH front and rear drive shafts need to be connected to a differential or it will "roll" when Parked on even a slight hill
