@@wesKEVQJ please, just stop. You are clearly too damn ignorant to be commenting on such topics. Who gives a fuck what you heard? The fucking transmission shafts are not turning, so it doesn't matter if shit is getting lubricated or not, but since you brought it up, the fucking input shaft has to turn the pump for lubricant to do anything in an Auto transmission.

I have the same setup, except I opted to move away from having to cart around a heavy brake controller. So I went with the Demco Stay and Play brake system. It is permanently mounted in the Jeep and I only have to flip one switch to turn it on.

@@fuelyourwander I've been a mechanic and race tech engineer for 32 years, let me help you here. The gear selector in your automatic vehicle selects the drive gear or neutral setting for the transmission of your vehicle (drive, reverse, etc). In non-four wheel drive vehicles you have a drive shaft or prop shaft that is attached to the the output of the transmission on one side and your final drive differential on the other side to drive your tires. Thus making it a bad idea to attempt towing while in park for obvious reasons. 4x4 vehicles have an additional assembly that sits between your transmission output and the drive shaft(s) connected to your differential(s). This is known as a transfer case. It has it's own set of gearing allowing for transfer of power to an additional drive shaft redirecting power to the front two wheel same as the rear (making 4x4 instead of 4x2). These gear options include both high and low gear ranges in 4x4 mode along with a neutral setting in between that serves various functions. This is in addition to it's pass-through setting for 4x2 functioning of the vehicle. Selecting neutral in the transfer case disconnects the drive line from the engine in the same way it would in the transmission. Keeping the vehicle in park simply disconnects or disables the odometer in the vehicle and has zero to do with the final drive setting in the transfer case. Every single vehicle works this way if it is a 4x4. And now you know ;-)

Thanks. We dont put the trans in park to disable mileage. We put the trans in park to prevent viscous coupling from rotating the trans when we tow and damaging it since there is no lubrication in an auto trans when the engine is not running. The Jeep doesn’t accrue any miles on the odometer simply because the ignition is off, so the ECU is powered down and not listening or recording mileage. We have towed it his way (in park) for over 30k miles.

I used to work at an RV shop and I saw a guy flat tow a Jeep in park before. That thing was bouncing and smoking as it skidded down the road with the axle locked up. Guy never noticed and just kept going. Funniest thing I ever saw.

The odds of a transfer case popping out of neutral are slim. If that happened it would be a manufacturer defect and would be a new vehicle regardless. The only cases of it happening are generally abused vehicles that are already on their last leg to begin with

Our tires are still in great shape, we’ve towed it over 30k miles this way. We will likely need to replace them in the next 2 years at this rate though. We factor that into the cost. Main reason we flat tow is bc it’s easier than having a trailer with how often we move our RV 😀

Jeeps have a transfer case with a neutral position that disengages the drive line from the transmission connection. Eliminating the need to pull drive shafts. The transmission should still always be placed in gear or park (if automatic) to stop any spinning without lubrication. I still don't know the physics of Saturn vehicles being flat towed. They were approved for flat towing your years. I'm assuming the transmission was slinger lubed.
