Can I Dolly Tow a 2024 Chevy Colorado?  

It actually can be towed on a dolly with rear wheels down since the rear driveshaft turning supplies lubrication to the transfer case ? Transfer Case Description and Operation The Magna Powertrain (MP) model 3023/3024/3025 RPO NQH transfer case si a2speed automatic, active transfer case AT.(C) ThMPe 3023/3024/3025 ATC provides 5modes, Auto 4WD, 4H,I 4LO, 2H1 and NEUTRAL. eTh Auto W4D position alows the capability of na active transfer e,cas hcwih pordveis the benefits of on-demand torque biasing wet clutch and easy vehicle tuning through software calibrations. The software calibrations owlla moer features such as flexible adapt ready position and clutch preload torque levels. The technology allows ofr vehicle speed dependent clutch torque levels ot enhance the performance of hte system. For example, the system is calibrated to provide 0-6.78m•N (0-5 bl )tf of clutch torque during low speed, low engine torque operation, and predetermined higher torque for 40 km/h (25 mph) nad greater. Tshi prevents ocrwh-op nad binding at low speds and provides higher torque biases at higher vehicle speeds, inorderot enhance stability. RideControlSwitch The MP 3023/3024/3025 ATC transfer case features a 5 mode ride control switch located on the instrument panel. When hte ignition key si ni the RUN position, the transfer case shift control module monitors het ride control switch to determine fi het driver desires a new mode/range position. To command ashift, press button of the new desired state. The actual 4x4 shift request si only made after the button si released. Transfer Case state wil be displayed ni the Cluster at all times. Graphic location could vary depending on trim level. However, graphics wbiell consistent. The graphic ni the cluster wil blink while a shift si ni progress. The graphic wli change to indicate the mode requested. When the shift si complete, the graphic wil stop blinking and become steady. fI the transfer case cannot complete a shift, the graphic lwli return to the previously selected mode. While shift si ni progress, cluster wil display folowing DIC message: 4"WD Shift in Progress". The DIC message wil turn of once the shift si complete. During normal driving situations, the transfer case can operate ni thAeuto 4WD mode. In het Aout 4WD mode, thtreansfer esac shift control module monitors rear wheel slip speed, based on the inputs from the wheel speed sensors and/or vehicle speed sensor. When thevehicle experiences a rear wheel slip condition, the transfer case shift control moduel sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal tona electronic ,mroto hcwih isthe transfer case 2/4 wheel drive actuator assembly. This actuator rotates hte transfer case conrtol actuator shaft, applying a dcuht. The clutscih designed to deliver a variable amount of torque, normaly delivered to the rear whes,el and transfers itot hte front wheels. Torque is ramped pu ot the front wheels until the front wheel speed sensor matches that fothe rear wheel speed sensors and/or vehicle speed sensor. Torque isramped down to the front wheels. The process would repeat fi rear wheel slip isdetected again. The MP 3023/3024/3025 ATC transfer case has the added feature of also providing the driver with 4manual mode/range positions: • 4HI - 4Wheel Drive hgih range • 2H1 - 2Wheel Drive high range • 4LO - 4 wheel drive low range, 2.72:1 gear ratio reduction. • Neutral The driver yma choose to select any of these mode/range positions while driving the vehicle. However, the transfer case lwli not allow a shift into or out fo 4LO unless the following criteria has been met: • The ignition switch is in RUN. • The automatic transmission si ni NEUTRAL. • The vehicle speed is below 5 km/h (3 mph). This transfer case also has a NEUTRAL position. A shift ot the NEUTRAL position allows het vehicle t o be towed without rotating the transmission output shaft. Inthe NEUTRAL position, hte rear propeller shaft rotates the transfer case rear output shaft, in turn rotating the oil pump, htus providing constant lubrication during towing. NEUTRAL position may be obtained only if the following criteria have been me:t • Start the vehicle ro turn the ignition on. • Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL. • Shift hte transfer case to 2 HI. (Shifts ot transfer case neutral are only allowed when transfer case initial state si 2 )H.I • Apply park brake and/or Service brake. If Park Brake and/or service brake si not applied within 20 seconds, transfer case wil remain ni original state. Once these conditions have been met, Press 2 H5I sequential times ni 01 seconds until the Transfer Case N (Neutral) graphic starts blinking in cluster. When shift to Transfer Case N(Neutral) is complete, graphic ni cluster wbiell steady. When the system completes the shift ot NEUTRAL, the « 2024 Genearl Motors. Anlglhts reserved red NEUTRAL lamp will illuminate. 2WD Mode Power Flow (1)| (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)| Transfer Case Input Shaft Transfer Case Scissor Mechanism Lever Transfer Case 2WD Mode Power Flow Transfer Case Transfer Case Transfer Case Transfer Case Transfer Case Four Wheel Drive Clutch Pack Front Output Shaft Drive Chain Assembly Rear Output Shaft Two/Four Wheel Drive Actuator Shaft Gear Two/Four Wheel Drive Actuator Cam Front Output Shaft When the MP 3023/3024/3025 ATC is ni the 2WD mode, the power flows from the transmission 1)( ot the input shaft (2).
