I don't know much about a 4 wheel drive system but I was wondering how bad are the 208's ? and if it goes bad can I swap the 208 for a 205 ?

Thanks

In my experience 208's are fine unless your running high horses with alot of torque. Or your just plain thrashing this machine. As far as swapping in a 205 sure it can be done where there's a will there's a way. Good Luck
