It didnt have the do the above method until I got the stall in
But if ytou do spin then that is the way to do it.

I have to take off in 4hi also, anything less and i am spinning all the way down the track.
I accidently left 100' of tire the other day at a friend's house. I literally had no idea that both tires were spinning the whole time as i drove off
.
Wish the F'N rain would stop already, seems like 3 months since i've seen the sun!

To answer your question, yes use 4HI, then hit 2wd once you start moving and it should shift out just fine. Once you start making big HP that trick doesnt always work anymore though and you have to run 4Hi all the way through the 1/4

Do not drag race in Auto 4wd, 4 hi only.
Its bad for some part as it all of a sudden engages, when it in 4wd from the tsrat there is less stress on parts.

I am really wanting to hit low 15's high 14's. Is that just not possible with the mods that i have and removing my spare and the tail gate? I still have a factory waranty so I am kind of limited to the mods that I can do, not to mention that I am college student. I really thought that my tb spacer would cut at least .5 off my Ets.
