I personally don't understand some folks extreme desire to turn the VX into something that it is not. The VX was not meant to be lifted 4"s, it was not meant to have a SAS, it was not meant to have a winch bumper up front, it was not meant to run 35"s, it was not meant to etc etc etc. However there are always people trying to make it do things it wasn't meant to do, and then they get discouraged or turned off or upset about it when these mods don't work out so much. And you know my answer to all of that (buy a Jeep, cough, cough). But again, all the power to ya.

By that logic, no one would ever have a modded street legal offroad vehicle as NO vehicle was meant to do these things.
Anyway, the next step in the experiment would be to do the TOD mod where I can adjust power manually via rheostat. I would think that the TOD software would have a feedback loop built into it to prevent the surging/thunking effect.
No worries, the shaft is back in, and she is back to normal.
On a side note, I figured out what my squeaking sound was!! The rear lower link mounts have the edges bent over just enough that the moving portion rubs on the fixed portion. It is always loudest in reverse, which generally means I am riding my brakes a bit when backing out of the driveway, which compresses the rear suspension backwards and at an angle, also the engine is quiet. That makes the squeak seem louder as the vehicle tends to bounce at an angle. Just need to bend that steel back a bit....
