    It should give more traction. My thinking is that one of you CVs is blown so that you don't have any front wheel drive. If you can try doing a doughnut in 4lo, if the rear spins out you have a problem in the front end somewhere. Since the front is an open diff all the power goes to the path of least resistance. Since the TOD only reads prop speed it doesn't know what the wheels are doing only what is happening at the output flange.

    Bartman,
    Couldn't do donuts in 4lo, it pulled like a freight train.
    Any other ideas?

    Damn, I'm out of ideas. Can't get my head around why 4lo works but TOD doesn't and has no fault indication.

    Just a WAG

    but does your fault light up on start up? Maybe the bulb is burnt out so you do not see (or removed by previous owner or something?) try taking it to a parts store for a FREE code reading

    Cirmand,
    It does light up when I start up, Can advance auto read TOD codes? Had it at the old Isuzu dealership about a month ago and no codes came up. Me thinks it's the t-case Maybe the clutch packs

    TOD codes are read differently than CEL.

    There won't be any codes though unless the TOD light is flashing.

    VXorado-Just uploaded the 2 pics of the piece I found under the seat under Modifications. I don't think it has to do with the VX, but who knows. The TOD computer and wires seemed to be original.

    Yeah I don't think it's related.
