Auto 4WD question

Whether You needed it or not, you got better traction and fewer miles to the gallon. Otherwise, everything else is fine.

The auto can be a dangerous thing to use IMO. Right after I got my truck(same day) I was driving on snowy roads....and going a little too fast for the conditions on a curvy road. I might also point out that I was used to my 03 SS which kicked ass on snowy roads but regardless I was still going to fast.

Anyhow I was going into a curve with my truck in auto 4wd and it just kept heading for the guardrail. I had to hit the gas so the back tires would break loose to make it kick in. After that I put it in 4hi and left it there. The only time I would use auto now is if I was in a situation with questionable traction at low speed but thats just me. My dad always told me to drive in 2wd so when you got stuck you could get out and turn around, it is a good point if you get stuck in 4WD your options for getting out are limited...

you didnt know how auto worked then rite?

at least you learned something with your drawers full of poop lol and no harm to the truck

i have and love my 2wd truck in the winter empty,driving by my butt is awesome and worth learning imo

I knew how it worked I guess it just didnt register.....until I was about to hit the guard rail. Yep there is nothing like almost smoking a guardrail with a brand new truck that you have had for about 4 hrs....
