How does the transfer case work on a Dodge Durango?

When additional traction is required, the transfer case LOW RANGE position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This is accomplished by rotating the AWD Control Switch to the desired position. Refer to “Shifting Procedure” for specific shifting instructions.

How does all wheel drive work in a Dodge Durango?

All-wheel drive will be automatically engaged when the vehicle senses a loss of traction. When additional traction is required, the transfer case LOW RANGE position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.

What happens when you put the transfer case in low range?

Driving in the LOW RANGE position on dry hard surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components. The Transfer Case Position Indicator messages (AWD AUTO and LOW RANGE) are located in the Driver Information Display (DID) and indicate the current and desired transfer case selection.

What should the engine speed be in a Dodge Durango?

This could cause damage to driveline components. When operating your vehicle in LOW RANGE, the engine speed is approximately three times that of the AWDAUTO position at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
