Re: High lock and low lock
4m(Four-Wheel High): This setting is used for
driving in most street and highway situations. You can also use this setting for light or variable off-road conditions. N (NEUTRAL): Shift the vehicle?s transfer case to NEUTRAL only when towing your vehicle. See Recreational Vehicle Towing on page 4-57 or Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-57 for more information. Notice: Driving on pavement in Four-Wheel High Lock or Four Wheel Low Lock for extended periods may cause premature wear on your vehicle?s powertrain and tires. Do not drive in Four-Wheel High Lock or Four-Wheel Low Lock on pavement for extended periods. 4mQ(Four-Wheel-High Lock): Use this mode when you need extra traction in most off-road situations such as sand, mud, snow or level, rocky trails. Notice: Operating your vehicle in Four-Wheel-Low Lock above 30 mph (48 km/h) for any extended period of time could cause damage to the transfer case. Do not operate your vehicle in Four-Wheel-Low Lock above 30 mph (48 km/h) for extended periods. 4nQ(Four-Wheel-Low Lock): This mode delivers extra torque to all four wheels and is used for extreme off-road conditions. You might choose 4-Wheel-Low Lock if you are driving in off-road situations, such as, deep sand, mud, or snow and climbing or descending steep hills. |

thanks bro :) Seriously I was just about to get the manual from my garage but now I can just sit here instead :D I tried googling things like "H3 hummer 4 high lock low lock" but was just getting these short consumer review articles. |
Re: High lock and low lock
hmmm...so after reading that I don't see the advantage of using four-high over four-low when off-roading? It says four-low is for extreme conditions, and four-high is for moderate conditions, but is there any disadvantage to using four-low for moderate conditions?

If you're gunning it through lots of mud or snow, 4Hi Lock is the perfect mode for it. You do not want to rev to high or go too fast with 4Lo Lock. In my experience, I've left 4Lo when I'm really in the ruts, and 4Hi lock for everything else. This is mainly speaking for mudding or deep snow, which is the majority of offroading that I do. Someone else can tell you about rock crawling, there's not too much of that where I am. *edit* forgot to put lock after 4Hi, don't want to confuse it with the default 4Hi mode... |
Re: High lock and low lock
The only time I have to go into 4 low is when rock crawling or on a couple extremely torn up mt trails or any time I climb any really steep parts.

Re: High lock and low lock
4 lo limits your top speed to under 20 mph. It should be used for traversing rocky roads, deeply rutted areas, steep hill climbs and descents. It gives you the maximum amount of torque at lower rpms.
4 hi should be used the majority of the time when off road. It splits the power 50/50 between the front and rear diffs, great for traveling down gravel roads, sand dunes, etc. |
Re: High lock and low lock
4hilock is what i use most of the time offroading, im a florida guy so mostly mud for me, i have had to use4 low before in sandy areas and areas with steep rocky inclines, usually i only go into 4lo when nothing else can get me out. Most of the time if your not in intense situations the normal 4hi mode thats used for road driving will usually do just fine, just switch it up when you find your self needing a little more.

Re: High lock and low lock
I had to pull out a big stump and 4 low worked great,it took little or no effort to get it out.
4 low with the locker on also pulls out stuck rigs great. |
Re: High lock and low lock
Thanks guys, that's definitely a lot more info than what's in the owner's manual :)
Here's a pic I took yesterday (in regular 4 high mode) :) Nothing very demanding but I thought the landscape would make a good picture. |
Re: High lock and low lock
Seriously, if you don't know the differences between 4lo and 4 hi (or just FT 4wd) AND you are too lazy to go to the garage to get the manual, trade in your H3 and get an FJ cruiser. Hummer's have a bad enough rep as it is, we don't need anymore lazy stupid jackazzes bringing the brand down any more than it is...:fdance:
