Default e- brake help!!

Has anybody noticed that the e- brake works just the rear brakes when in two wheel drive and works all four when in 4 wheel ? and is there a way to disengage the front e -brake wile in 4wd ? Better for drifting on Ice and snow !!

Thanks for the help!

Drifting on the snow and ice?? Go buy a Honda. The ebrake only pulls on the rear. If you follow the cable from the handle, it goes straight to the rears.

Think over how you're connecting the front and rear axles in 4wd and you've elected to lock up the rear wheels which stops the rear driveshaft, which stops the transfer case, which stops the front driveshaft, stops the front axle shafts.
