...FT4WD engages the front driveshaft and puts the case into a "differential" mode - between the front & rear driveshafts is a
viscous coupling ... This gets power to all 4 corners but
prevents binding under most driving conditions; ... PT4WD locks this differential, forcing both front & rear to be spun equally & get the same power. ..

Heyyyyyy! I feel cheated! I have a '99 5.2 4x4 SLT and all I have is 2WD, PT4WD, Neutral and FT4WD [Which I have never succesfully engaged, the manual says to be moving(?!?) when you shift - WTF!?! When I have needed it, I was already stuck - ie immobile] Did this get changed between '98 and '99 or am I an idiot that knows nothing about my truck. Before you flame me, remember, at least this IS dak-related, albeit stupid... TIA
