speaking of which its a 97 GMC jimmy 4x4 and i used it to try and pull out my 91 s10 blazer to get that going for a 2nd vehicle. but it has push button fourwheel drive and when i had the tow strap hooked up i put it in 4hi and started to pull out the blazer and it would go into 2hi on its own so then i tried 4low and started to pull and it went into 2hi again when you start to break traction then when i tried to put in in 4hi or 4low again the buttons were flashing at me so i gave up and drove it home well when the old lady took it the next day to go to an appointment it broke down when she got into town it started making a grinding noise so she pulled into a gas station and my sister rescued her and they brought it to the shop. I'm wondering what it is do you have any ideas?????????????

i work at checker auto parts and i have a interview at napa today so i hope its better than checker. it sounds to be cause their looking for someone to work fulltime morning shift lets just hope the pay is better

[QUOTE=That 4x4, you say is push button. Does that mean you have a vacuum setup ? If so, probably water is frozen in the lines. Make sure you put a good drier in line with it. Other things, like un even tire sizes will cause trouble also.[/QUOTE]

I don't really know i know the older ones like my 91 were vaccume but this one has a electric motor on the transfer case to select 2hi 4hi 4low? its a 97 4dr S15 GMC jimmy SLE 4x4 4.3 vortec and either a 700R4 or a 4L60?

my 91 is a 4dr 4x4 with a 4.3 TBI & 700R4 and a new process (NP) transfer case NP 205 or 208 or something?
as far as tires they both have new tires the 91 has 29 x 9.5 x 15 aggressive tread and the 97 have new goodyears on them 235/75R15 all season

i got the job and start on feb. 18th to do a 2wk notice with checker as far as my jimmy i'm worried its going to be some big $$$$$$ cause it has to do with the tranny and four wheel drive if you think its froze up then whats the grinding noise? i don't know cause i wasn't with her when it happened and you know how it is when the mrs. tells you about noises and stuff.

The only problem I have is with 11.5 to 1 and a 64 cc head you would have to run the race gas.
My thinking is get the comp. ratio down to 10 to 1 and run "pump-gas" or go all the way to 12.5 or more for a comp. ratio.
