OP MUST BE BANNED.

Unless he tells us why he wants to run in D2 all the time.

How many signatures do we need??? :patriot:

I'm not ducking the question , I welcome dialogue on that subject - in part because I am very curious about what you men think about it and maybe we can open some minds to new possibilities that will enrich everyone's driving experience with these great trucks.

Here is as good a place as any!

Perhaps we should start at the owner's manual. I wonder what it says about driving in "2"?

I agree, it's not an issue, but knowing why would be nice. I'm speculating he needs to drive somewhere and only has one vehicle and it doesn't have "D" and only has "2" as a top gear. Or has a long haul up a steep grade and needs "2" to get to the top.

Maybe we could predict the “why”? My guess is he drove with it in 2 for a ways and is wondering if he wrecked something.

Or maybe the indicator is not adjusted properly and when it's pointing at D it's really in 2, which is not a problem to the owner who drives it daily but when the owners daughter needs to borrow the truck and drives all over Fayetteville NC in second gear said owner may be concerned! She said to me later that day, your old truck is really peppy and loud but those brakes will get you in trouble in this town. It hit me then. Not worried though, I put that engine together.

My buddy's wife took his Toyota (serves him right) to see her folks. When she came home after the weekend she casually mentioned the truck sounded "kinda funny". She drove 4 hrs in 4x4 low, at speeds around 60 mph. ****** his engine, it was rattling and almost no oil left in it.

That had to sting.

Anytime you loan out a vehicle that has electric 4wd transfer case

Always always pull the fuse for it
Someone everyone manages to flip the switch

Theoretical Plot twist:

Truck actually has a Powerglide.

More likely, he wants to swap in a powerglide, because he thinks it'll be more efficient.

Of what - the Toyota , the engine, or the :boobs:

I have my guess :baby:

but want to be sure there is no confusion.
