Where can I find a four-wheel drive switch for a 2000 GMC Sierra, and how do I replace?
Having trouble getting in and out of 4-wheel drive, I heard that this particular year and model has had this problem frequently, and that it is a pretty simple fix, but I have looked all around online and can't find anyone that has a four-wheel drive switch for this truck. Need to know where to find one of these, and also how to install
are you sure the switch is your problem? I know the more common problem is the electric servo that is screwed into the front axle. you can check it by going under the passenger side of the truck at the "back" of the front axle just to the top right of the pumpkin there will be a plastic cylinder (about the size of a can of red bull) with a couple of wires coming out, undo the connector for the wires and unscrew the servo there usually not in that tight but you might need to use channel locks after you get it out plug the wires back in turn the key on and shift to 4×4 and go look at the servo the plunger at the end where you unscrewed it should be sticking out atleast 1.5 inches if not tap on it if it does not come out you need to replace it. if it works fine than its probably your switch as you said. you might find either one at a used vehicle salvage yard.( junk yard )

Are there energy efficient all wheel or four wheel drive vehicles?
I live in the mountains and drive on dirt roads. I need a vehicle with good ground clearance and either all wheel drive or four wheel drive. Everything out there seems to be a gas guzzler. Any suggestions.

whats the difference between two whell drive and four wheel drive related to automobiles?
how does it effect the performance of the car.which is better two wheel drive or four wheel drive.
Define performance? Gunning your car on a straight freeway or doing twisties going down the mountain. 4 wheel drive can be alot of fun, to play with. In cars I recommend a Subaru WRX STi in SUVs and Trucks go with what you need.

When and how do you put a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport into four-wheel drive?
we bought the car used without a manual so we don't know how to put the car into four wheel drive so we can drive on ice. Help?
When:
On loose gravel or snow or conditions that would make for poor traction.
Cherokees (aka "XJ's") only come with Command-Trac. This is a "part time" system, which means you use it only while conditions are poor, and turn it off when you don't need it. If you leave it engaged, your drive system and tires will wear and stress, due to the tires not all turning at the same speeds (front to rear and side to side around corners).
How:
At any legal speed (the manual's word's) pull up gently but firmly on the lever until it is in the 4 wheel HI position. I have found that it helps to be at least rolling a bit. At a standstill you will get some grinding. Your "part time" indicator will light up on the instrument cluster. (If it doesn't, either your 4wd isn't working, or the switch on the transfer case is NG.)
To disengage, simply push it back down into the 2 wheel high position. It may take a minute to disengage. If you DO drive it on dry pavement longer than you should have (by mistake) and it seems stuck (Jeep doesn't want to move forward, or doesn't want to get out of 4WD), then drive backward a few feet. This releases stress that built up, and it will come out of 4WD.
Be aware- Ice is the great equalizer. You may be able to GO better than the average bear, but you can't STOP any better.
I would buy an owner's manual from ebay. Mine didn't come with one either, and the manual was actually pretty informative.
Enjoy that Jeep! I love mine!

four wheel drive sharp corner steering problem?
My truck is a part time four wheel drive ford f250, why is it that when I have it in four wheel drive and take a sharp turn on pavement, the steering gets really giddy and has a pumping motion to it? It doesn’t do this when in 2wd, I’ve heard this is normal but I don’t understand why.
So basicly if the truck had a better differential it wouldn't do that, correct?
Don't worry, this is normal. When your truck is in 4wd, all four tires are trying to rotate at the same speed (rpm) as each other. On a sharp turn, lets say to the right, the tires on the inside of the turn (the right side of your truck) actually travel a shorter linear distance than the tires on the outside of the turn (left side of your truck), but they are all turning at the same rpm. That "giddy/pumping" motion is the tires on one side rotating but not moving forward (rotating in place). While it may feel like your truck is breaking, this is a good way to ensure that your 4wd is working properly. Did that answer your question? I can try to explain another way if this didn't make sense.
As to your additional information:
Not necessarely, there's nothing wrong or less effective with your differentials (front and rear). I believe that if you had slip differentials you wouldn't have true four wheel drive. I'm partial to the setup you've got.

does it matter if i use a rear end from a four wheel drive truck?
i have a 1997 dodge dakota truck that is four wheel drive. my rear end locked up in it. what i am wanting to know is can i use any rear end that will fit? or do i need to use a rear end from another four wheel drive truck? the four wheel drive is not used so does it matter? i have been told it doesn't and i have been told it does.
Gear ratio matters. technically you can put a dually rear if you wanted with some fab work. As long as it has the same ratio as the front. You should upgrade to a posi if it did not have one in it. But if you just want it to go in no fuss just get the same that came out.
