im not looking to race here, my transmission cant handle that right now anyway, just dont want to drive like a grandma at a stop light.

yeah see thats different. thats basically using it what its meant for. driving around on rain/snow and it kicking into 4x4 when it slips is fine. Using it for a hard launch however is not.

Yeah there was a video clip of someone launching on the track in Auto 4x4 and that thing jumped all over the place. It was pretty scary looking!

you know after reading this i might actualy start using the 4hi. i use the auto all the time and it works just fine. i was up in 3 feet of snow the other day plowing it with the front bumper in auto and never had a problem. so i would have to say to eaches own. i can see where on a launch you would want to use 4hi.
