I only said gmt900 because I do not know if this is also the case for the 800's but I would assume it may be, I already tested this theory on my 2012 because I didn't believe it
jacked it up on my slanted driveway and sure as shit it rolled away on me.
Anyone to whom it applies weather implied or identified...Who ya callin a gal?
I know from experience with a tow truck escapade that mine won’t. One time when I was in a movie theater some ******* tried to steal The Beast. They broke the ignition cylinder so I couldn’t start it or get it out of park. The tow company sent a flatbed. I told the guy it’s AWD so ge should call a regular truck but he said it’s ok, he’ll just put 2 wheels on skids and pull it up onto the truck. It didn’t work, he had to put skids on all 4 wheels. He used these plastic things that went under the tires do they could slide, and dish soap to reduce friction. It took about 3-4 hours to get it home and unloaded. At least it fairly certain having the rear wheels on skids and trying to pull the truck up the flatbed would be like having them off the ground since they wouldn’t be moving, idk. I do chalk them anytime I’m jacking it up if I’m not on level ground but also I only do one corner or side at a time, put it on a jack stand and move on.I only said gmt900 because I do not know if this is also the case for the 800's but I would assume it may be, I already tested this theory on my 2012 because I didn't believe it
Hahahaha...in a response to me, even. Sorry, Mike!
2 wheels (same axle front or rear) have to be free to spin otherwise it just stays bound up, putting it on skates or skids won't work. otherwise you have to put it in neutral.
Good to know. When I rotate my tires I usually jack up drivers front and put jack stand under, then jack up passenger front and place jack stand, then move back and to the rears. I guess I've been lucky because my garage floor is level.
if your level it shouldn't be any problem just jacking up either end that's not enough to cause it to roll, but..... it's a good idea I do it now ever since I found out. some of the tire shops around here jack up either end all the time and it's never been a problem on level ground
Did you ever find the problem? I experienced the same thing. I have been driving with power only to the front differential. I don't know how long this has been going on. The rear differential is not engaged through the transfer case.
