See what happens? Doesn't seem you've tested it so what will you learn?
W/o a baseline, nothing.

OK; got my baseline. I was told to do this from another diss. board with some
very knowledgeable people: On drive pavement in 4WD "HI" take a turn under 5 MPH. If it feels like the brakes are being applied it is working. Guess what:
I tried this and it did feel like the brakes where being applied. Will talk to the dealer tomorrow. Larry

Ok thats good, BUT don't let them drive it again!

I've worked at many dealers in various jobs, and will tell you this. Behind the scenes, they don't value the customers opinion and will probably let you know that when they respond to you telling them they are wrong.

Take your truck to their grass/garden area out front, do a few roosters. Show them the 4wd is working....... then drive to another dealer. Opps... I forgot step one, go inside drink their coffee and eat their cookies the proceed accordingly!

Guess the folks here are not knowledgeable enough, hope it works out for you. I have worked with a few new car dealerships MalibuSS is right on the money. Anyone can go online and find out what the dealers are paying for new cars. No one knows what they pay for used. I had one dealer tell me the only reason he sold new cars was to drive business to the used side where he made very good margin when the customer could not afford the new one.
