I have the resistor installed and I don't get a checklight, just some whacking illuminations on the front wheels. Typically, all three front wheel bars will light up and hold.

I ran just manual hubs for a while and I definitely recommend the TOD off switch. The t-case will still try to transfer power to the front wheels and you'll feel the loss of power if the hubs are unlocked. This was common for highway driving when accelerating... TOD would try to transfer extra power to the front wheels I would end up accelerating slower.
I like that the MPG improves a little, it is not real important but it would be nice to get a little better MPG. Where did you get the TOD off switch? How hard was it to install, how long did it take?

So you have less miles on the odometer than you have driven? Strange that the odometer does not count miles when the TOD is off.

VXorado, does your VX do the same thing?
