4A stops sending power (assuming disconnect the front wheels) when you are like 40mph+
You can see the real time power distribution from the configurable gauge cluster.
I’ve not smelled anything. I think I remember someone posting about a wire harness or label hanging down onto the front driveshaft. Might take a look. Also might not be a bad idea to make sure the T case has the proper fluid amount.
Mine power distribution never changes. All four wheels always go up no matter the speed. It was also fully snow covered roads 🤷‍♂️. I checked this weekend because another person mentioned the same thing of it dropping power to the front wheels.

I have 2.7 300 miles and I’ve also noticed burning rubber smell at times. I figured it was something new burning off…hmm

I'm having the same issue with the odor, but I have 36,000 miles on my 21'. Notice it in the winter only and using the slippery GOAT setting
