    If the truck is in 2wd it doesn't make a crap what size tires are on the front. Autotrack doesn't automatically engage your transfercase if you're slipping when in 2WD - it ONLY engages when you select the mode "AUTO 4WD".... its a screwy setup but works good at slow speeds on slick roads, other than that... worthless. Pretty much a soccer mom 4wd option to make them feel better when driving in crappy weather.

    I can adjust shift points and tire size myself. I own hptuners. The 4x4 kills the top end terribly.

    That's why you launch in auto
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    I used to have a 4x4 tacoma with the 3.4 v6 and 5 speed. Used toleave the hubs locked and ride around racing v6 comaros and mustanks from red light to red light and when I shifted into second I wouls push it into 2hi and when I clutched it to go to third it would disengage. The ole truck used to rape the women and kill the children!
