i get confused about having the CDL lock “override” with the Pin 7 mod and never had a chance to try it.
anyway, i have a 98 4WD tacoma. it is rear wheel drive with a front manual hub lock. so i drive rear wheel drive in the snow and i go on the beach and i lock the hubs and put it in Low or High at the transfer case i guess. other than “exercising” the manual locking hubs once or twice that is it. i think.
well i also have 2nd and Low at the drive train and i guess i switch into one of those “on the fly” if i am suddenly on hairy icy conditions.
but in the cruiser i am still confused. i did the pin 7 mod and have the switch.
i can have it in Drive? or i can put the drive train in 2nd or in Low. i get this.
without Pin 7 mod i can put the transfer case in Low (locked CDL) or in High (locked CDL)? but i would not do this for snow or ice?
or i can “shift” it into 2nd or Low at the transmission? which i would not do? since i would be kicking front to rear which is a bad idea on snow or ice?
so if i have the Pin 7 mod i can also put it in Low or High at the transfer case but unlocked? would i use one of these in snow or ice? what would putting it in High or Low at the transfer care give me on snow or ice? or in general?
can i put the drivetrain in 2nd or Low and put the transfer case in Low or High?(!)
i think i can shift into 2nd or Low at any speed “on the fly”. but can i CAN’T shift the drive train on the fly? or only at very low speeds?(!) what about the CDL. can i tun that on or off on the fly? or does the ECU lock it off at certain RPM?
THANKS
also. ABS is turned off when CDL is locked? is there a good thread that discusses removing ABS entirely? i kind of find it sketchy and i am not sure if it does anything for me actually.
