Did anyone else here know this? I had no idea that they put a part-time 4WD t-case in any Monties after Gen I.

My bro has an 02 XLS and it is giving him trouble with the tcase engaging on its own. I am telling him to put it in AWD for a weekend trip until he can get it sorted out. He is telling me his tcase shifter doesn't have 4HiLoc. I am telling him it has to. He sends me a pic and of course he's right. I then pull a VIN and look up in ASA and see the parts explosion without the center diff parts. Just a straight shaft like on Gen Is and earlier Sports.

I can't help but feel disapponted by Mitsu. To sell an 01-02 ten years after Active-Trac came out and not put it in the XLS. I wonder how many people who aren't learned enough to know bout them because they had heard about fullsize Monteros and AWD/4WD?
