When the hammer drops and the truck lurches sideways as all 4-wheels try to grab, it's pretty impressive. Especially when you see the late-model vettes just drop behind it.

That's a much talked about topic around the truck and it was just a personal choice of Matt's (as it should be). The AWD unit consumes quite a bit of power and he has some pretty big tires/rims on it that probably don't help much either. He's never meant for it to be a "race truck" and he still uses it to haul lumber, tow a boat, drive to work, etc.

No need to put it in 4wd and then forget to disengage it. 
tt460 - Welcome to the site.
Do you know if the truck has a higher stall converter in it? Those 60's are awesome. I couldn't imagine pulling up next to him and nailing it from a light only to see him jump out a couple truck lenghts right off the bat. I guess it would look similiar to what most people in their family sedans see when they try to take me off a light.

I did tear apart the old sensor to see if I could swap out the resistors and I think it's doable. Would probably be easier to swap 1 resistor in the ECU, but I'm not sure I'm sold on that idea yet.
