There is no maximum speed in 4wd. There is a maximum you can engage it, mainly the 1983-2001 systems. Anything newer than 2001 can be engaged at any speed.
Most everyone I talk to agrees 50-55 is the max and 40-45 is preferable. The only way to engage mine acording to the manul is come to a dead stop and engage the 4wd while in park. Same with coming out of 4wd. I wish I could through it up in 4wd while moving. That would be SWEEEET!!![]()
Huh... Well do as you please.
My wife had a 1999 Ranger 3.0L auto with the dial switch for 4WD and I shifted in and out all the time while moving anywhere from 2mph to 55mph. In fact one time it was flooding on the roadway and I shifted it at 65mph.
I never read the owners manual, but it didn't hurt the truck.
