2 or Auto

[arcasey]

Either one is fine. Auto 4wd tends to use more fuel for me so I just use 2WD and then when I need 4WD I just use 4HI.

Because no one uses the search feature...

 

Its easier for them to just ask than spend 2 minutes looking for the same question.

I agree that this topic has a lot of coverage this winter. However, I was reminded when looking for recent links for the op just how frustrating the search feature is on this forum. It seems you get one try and then have to wait for a period of time until you can try different wording. I may be doing something wrong...

2wd, unless you want it in rain or snow, 4WD-HI after you're stuck... don't use 4WD-HI to get stuck, use it to get UNSTUCK

I don't have that issue. Search results return in under 1 second. I just tried 3 different searches in a row. Lots of variables on computers such as OS, browser used, and type & speed of internet connection.

I would recommend using "gm-trucks.com insert topic here" in google.

I always used 2wd in wet and dry conditions and 4hi in snow until this forum. Now in certain wet conditions I'll put it in auto. I haven't changed my driving habits in the rain with the auto but it is a nice little extra buffer. This is my first truck with an auto feature so until people had mentioned it on here I had stayed away more out of habit than anything.

Thanks for the responses. I will try the Google route for now. My computer struggles with this forum's search feature. Knowing the problem is at my end gives me an opportunity to fix this issue.

This is a question for everyone with the electronic transfer case control knob on thier dash. Do you normaly have use 2 wheel or Auto for every day driving? My saleman told me to use Auto for extra safety. But I am wondering if that is really necessary.

 

No it is not necessary. I use 2wd every day, unless there is snow or ice covering the road. Then 4wd.

I don't want it grabbing the front wheels unless I need it to.

 

For people with bad tires, or who never learned how to drive a RWD in snow, or feel the need to floor it in the rain, then use 4wd auto. And remember when in 4wd, your steering and braking are not improved at all, so driving beyond the capabilities of the vehicle are dangerous no matter how fast you can accelerate from a stop.

I did do a search before I posted. It came up blank. I am sorry to have wasted your time.

Keep it in 2WD until I get a slip of any kind then turn it to auto.

GM assumes that people leave 4 auto on all the time and for the most part, in Canada it is. There is nothing wrong with having it on 24/7 if you want.

I've been with GM for almost 20 years and have never seen 1 failure because of leaving it on 4 auto. Most people on forums are 100% clueless and pretty much just parrots repeating crap they've read from some other parrot on a forum.

 

Do what ever you want, 2 wheel or auto. Enjoy your truck how ever the hell you want to.

Try using Firefox as your browser and see if that helps.

Never said you wasted my time. WE are here to help you and everyone else, however a search of "4 auto" returns 80 other threads and your question is covered multiple times.

If you use Firefox I would HIGHLY recommend changing the security settings/configuration in order to better protect yourself. Sorry for going off topic. *Security Profession mindset takes over sometimes.

There is my mistake...I searched "2 auto" and got nothing. Thanks for the help.
