I brought this today any advice? 2000 Also general awd question.

It's a 4wd not AWD.

Always drive on road in 2wd - only use 4wd for dirt/gravel/snow. If you do drive it on road long enough the lack of slip will lock up your diffs and either fuck them up or force you to unwind them slowly.

You can shift from 2wd to 4wd with the engine on or off as far as I am aware.

drive in low range 4WD all the time with the diff locks in trust me its better and saves on fuel and wear on the drive train

When I drove it home today the indicator light didn't tell me it was on 2wd, does that mean it's in neutral and therefore off? I'm kind of confused on that part. If the light isn't on at all then what drive is it?

The manual says to keep it on 2wd and 4hi for rain and snow, essentially. Unless I'm missing something here? Also I find it kinda off putting I have to stop completely to put it in 4lo, what do of I run into a steep hill and it's too late to stop altogether?

When the light's off, you're in 2wd

>Also I find it kinda off putting I have to stop completely to put it in 4lo, what do of I run into a steep hill and it's too late to stop altogether?

4lo is meant for dire situations where you require max torque (getting out of a ditch or something like that), if you're driving up a hill and require 4Lo, you'd have to break, put it in neutral while holding the break, switch to 4lo then carry on

Fluid Film the frame, catch it up on maintenance (t-belt, all fluids in engine/trans/t-case/diffs/etc) and enjoy.
