Re: 203 Part Time Kit question
You should have locking hubs on the 205 and they should be unlocked on pavement or a hard surface if in 4 whatever.
Its a gear coupling and will bind. The 4 tires turn at different rates, and bad things will happen. The wheels turn on a different radius do the outers have to travel a different distance to get to the same point. A gear system will bind or break. Draw 2 circles on paper, one larger than the other. Which took longer? A 4x4 has to do both at the same time. The 203 was famous for eating front driveshafts and eliminating gas mileage. One reason we love locking hubs, the 205, and 4x4 in general...

Re: 203 Part Time Kit question
I was not very clear I realized:
I'm expecting the tires to scrub when the 203 4x4 is engaged and the hubs locked. (just like my 205 does). However, with the 203 (hubs locked) in 4x4Low no scrubbing happens. I basically was driving in a figure 8 in the parking lot. I'm assuming this shift pattern (From http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/sm...?topic=28236.0 ) 4x4 Low <-- this is where my shifter is for this test 2x4 low Neutral 2x4 High 4x4 High |
