Auto 4 wd on 2003 trailblazier is not cutting off.

Auto 4 wd comes on just fine is not cutting off when it needs to. Can a size in tires make a difference? I replaced the two front tires but they don' t match the back ones. close in size but maybe a inch difference and not the same brand of tires. I only started having this problem shortly after I replace my tires.

Hi there... The different size is tires could be causing you problem. The other thing is that if you are using your 4x4 with the two different sized tires, you are causing more damage than you think. The reason is that with two different sized tires, your axles are rotating at different speeds. This is ok in 2wd becuse there is no power transfer to the fronts but once you engage the 4wd, now you have power to the fronts and rears and could damage the differentials.

2003 kia sorento with the auto 4x4 while driving it kicks in and out of 4x4 almost like an engine miss and makes a clunking sound it goes into 4 low just fine any ideas? thanks in advance

check that the actuator is moving the gear dog into position fully for complete engagement
it indicates that the connection is not complete and the pressure on the teeth is making if jump out of the engagement
have an accredited transmission shop check that adjustment
the symptoms indicate a failure to properly engage --adjustment--or worn teeth of the dog--- new parts -- or misalignment of the shafts --- new bearings and parts
have a proper diagnosis done first as replacement parts gets to be an expensive job

I have 2006 Buick Rainier it has been running ok then the the other day when you turn left or right it like your driving a 4 wheel pickup with the 4 wheel drive locked in it jerks. Plugged in a hand held...

You wasted your time at Advanced Auto --because they
won't explain what needs to be done & you wouldn't understand
anyway

Go to a repair shop--they have to use the proper professional
scan tools & testing procedures, along with reference material

It has to be component tested

any time you get any dash lights or codes

Need an undercarriage protection for our 2003 chevy blazer - cant find one!

There are any number of commercial protection products available over the counter.. of any auto part store, or online.

In my own humble opinion... Your best protection is regular washing with clean water, and some WD40 on all unpainted surfaces. Any coating you put on will eventually trap moisture and contaminants under it, causing corrosion faster.
Easy way to prevent undercarriage rust is to power wash the entire undercarrage, then spray the entire undercarriage with WD-40 before the onset of winter.

WD-40 displaces water, helping to keep rust under control. Suprisingly, it doesn't come off as easily as you'd think in wet winter driving.
Use use two medium size cans of WD-40 to do all undercarriage, making sure to spray every nook and cranny (but avoiding the brake rotors/pads) until it is saturated.

Believe it or not, one good coating will last all winter--at least enough to prevent rust. Each spring, use a high pressure sprayer to clean the undercarriage and reapply a new coat of WD-40 for the spring/summer/fall months.

What is auto 4 wheel drive?

Auto 4 wd is when the Silverado's PCM takes readings from the front and rear driver shaft and when there is any detection that the speeds are different. The Auto 4WD will activate the transfer case to lock it self to 4wd until the front and rear drive shaft are running at the same given speed of rotation.

2000 4 wd blazer loud whinning noise

Sounds like you have a bad bearing hub (likely in front but you need to determine which side) You really can't tell by shaking it, unless its falling apart. Remove front brakes and rotors and turn the bearing by hand, any slight roughness is a problem (you can't exert as much force as the vehicle weight of the vehicle)
