TOD Issues - Random 4lo when on Auto

[VXR]

For a short time after Moab 0?, you regarded all us VX'rs as "your new fraternity"...

Then.....

Now you remember us?

Yeh, I'll be at the front of the line to fix it 4 U...

I DON'T forget.

When you're right, you're right...

I had no right or reason to be so harsh...my apologies Paula...

Boy, have I been there before..."Say it forget it, write it regret it". Takes a man to admit he's wrong. Good on ya Dub!

Resurrecting this thread: I've noticed that if i move the 4lo/hi lever just barely out of position from 4H, the TOD "Auto" light goes out and all 4 wheels light up fully. While I have -not- driven under this condition yet, I am wondering if this is effectively a "true" 4H with 50/50 distribution and good to go or an unsafe thing to do. I figure it can't be in 4L, but I'd rather consult the Gurus before I get all excited about not needing to make a Toggle switch for the snow. I discovered this by random fault as I was pulling out of the parking lot and it went away when I pulled the stick all the way back, thus leading to the scientific method and finding a way of replicating the condition.

The VX T-case doesn't have 4 hi, you're inbetween gears when the lever is in the middle. It won't have any power to the wheels and you might get some grinding as well. Not advised.

The TOD should work great on snowy road conditions, I would argue better than 4hi due to our short wheel base.

The shift lever for this condition is about 3-5mm from maximum pull (juuuust before it sorta clicks and the auto light engages.) I could see it maybe popping itself into the neutral position and or grinding. I'll check out how it does (without going full retard) up in the mountains behind Blackhawk next weekend.
