I need HELP PLEASE!

if im not mistaken ive read a few different times that the 3.2l engines that went into the jdm models didnt have tod at all - they were rear wheel drive or 4 wheel low only - i dont see why the engine wouldn't work but i would think the brain would be a bit different - might not even speak english

Well you can put that down to mis-informed BS.

The JDM VX vehicles all have TOD, we just have the added pleasure to be able to select 2wd only, TOD, and 4wd Low range.
I typically drive in 2wd unless I am in a hurry on a wet road.
TOD comes in handy stopping wheel spin off the lights, and helps pull you around the corners.

I think the only difference is a switch on the TOD selector lever, but I can't find a JDM wiring diagram to prove it.

thanks for clearing that up pk and sorry if my bad information got in anyones way - i wish mine had that option im thinking all that grabbing by the front wheels when its not totally necessary has got to cause worse gas milage - with most street driving i feel like its just slowing me down

No problems my friend.

There is a definite difference driving in TOD and just 2wd.
It takes me less than 100 yards to realise I left the lever in TOD last time I drove.
Noise level is worse in TOD (still not bad, but definitely different), and VX corners differently.
I think there would be a slight difference in fuel consumption, but have never tested it. Free wheeling hubs should make even more difference, but I haven't got around to finding any yet.

I installed WARN hubs on mine. It makes much less of a difference in mpg than you would think.

I did not turn off the TOD though since mine has a problem where it turns itself off after 10 minutes of driving anyways.
