is there a switch somewhere on a 2001 dodge grand caravan ES 3.8 AWD That can make it only a FWD. sometimes there are buttons under the dash on other vehicles that you can push that make a AWD to a FWD. i think the AWD is stuck on in my van because it gets horrible mileage 14MPG City 22MPGHWY. is this right. is my AWD stuck on? can i manually disable AWD under or in my vehicle? any tip/pointer would be a great help. it uses alot of gas!!!! about280Miles per tank.... i don't think that's right.
 
Best to get an owners manual to find out what and if you can disable AWD for your ride. Since you say AWD, I believe its all the time its on. Nothing much you can do about it. And even if you turned it off, your still carrying all that dead weight, so the mileage won't change that much. May consider other options, like a tuneup and such, if you have allot of miles on it...around 100,000 miles or more.
 
No AWD = ALL Wheel Drive not 4 wheel drive so its on all the time. Thats about right for that big engine 14-17mpg. if the AWD was Stuck your tires wouldn't move at all .
