If 4 wheel drive goes out on Trailblazer. Then does it become front or rear wheel drive.

Asked by GuruXHMGK Oct 30, 2018 at 01:39 PM about the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2003 Trailblazer 4wheel drive went out. More extensive repair than
replacing aucuator.   Entire assembly. $1700 estimate.   If I continue to drive it.
Has it become a front wheel or rear wheel drive. I assume front offers better
traction in Winter.

I think this machine will default back to rear wheel drive if the 4WD goes out. And yes, there is more weight on the front of most vehicles and that's how FWD does better than RWD. You might find someone to replace the transfer case for a lot less, that's probably what broke.. the chain.
