No worries bro, I have thick skin! All my tires are the same size all the way around, and rotated every other oil change. Well when we had our snow here in October, I took the truck out and played in some snow and shifted it doing 10-15mph, no biggy... but 60mph just seems a little fast to do a "shift on the fly", all the torsional force placed on the drive shaft seems to be a little excessive, as well as all the internal components, and when I heard that clunk it just sounded pretty odd.

I know it's a truck....but it's not built like they used to be, the cheapest bidder always gets the job, in todays market. It's a shame...so I tend to treat it a little softer when I can. I love to beat it up and use it, but only when needed (especially when lining up next to fords andchevys)....Eating fords and Sh!##ing chevys...

Wooooow!

Can't believe this is such an issue, well ford, chevy, yota got it to so can't !@#ch bout that. I'm old school mudding in the 80s around the muck in Fla but gotta say love my elec switch, just got back from snow in the blue ridge never had to get out once and wouldn't change it for the old stuff at all, after owning this truck for 3 years never once hit the switch when not needed, sure it can happen but no problem switch it back, even in auto the truck light will flash for a few seconds only thing that make auto engage quicker is hit the brake, low/high have not seen it go in quick unless in neutral.

happy new year ya'll and ROLLLLL Fn Tide!
