I'll probably try to change the fluid first, I have floated it acrossed a few ponds already, so it could be contaminated. My facory warranty is up, but still have the extended warranty with the $50.00 deductible... Yeeee Hawwwww. My '03 600 never did this, so it seems strange.
Just accelerating hard from a stop the fronts will dig in... Thanks guys.

When the front kicks in, do both wheels kick in????? If not, does it feel like it pulls hard to the left or right??? Anyone else experience the pull to left or right when it happens?

Mudder1, if you have the old outboard hubs, you will get the pulling when one engages and the other does not.

early model 2004's had outboard hubs. late model 04's and up have the new system. late model 04's are refered to as 04.5 commonly. 04.5's also have electronic gas gauge and a few other minor changes to distinguish them by.

i think my scrambler does that to sometimes because when you click it into two wheel sometimes, the bars are hard to turn and want to straighten out by themselves when you go slow. this usually happens to me in four, but not two, but for some reason it did it to me once. i dont know if u guys know what im talking about but sometimes in four if you go slow, the steering is you know harder and it sort of pulls.

If that happens, back up for a few feet. It'll unlock.

If that happens often, change your hub fluid.
