wasn't talking about the 4wd launch i do it all the time i'm talking about the putting it in neutral and reving it up then droping it into drive or 3rd. i knew a guy that done this in his jeep and the driveshaft twisted in half we had to take it out so he could drive in four high to get home.
i wasn't finished on my last post but the computer went down before i could edit it

You are right about not droping to gear from anything but idle.

[QUOTE=1slow01Z71]Do not I repeat do not put it in auto 4wd on a dry road and try and race with it. The rear tires will spin a little then the front will kick and a send a bad *** shock through the whole drivetrane because the front tires are all the sudden trying to spin at the same speed as the rear that are already spinning. 
If your truck is 4wd hit the 4high button roll forward a little so it can lock otherwise you will f*** up your transfer case. QUOTE]
Not that I tried, but when I first had my mods done, it was raining and I had it auto, the transfer case is pretty doggon strong...not that this is good for it...but the actually weak link is in the front axel. The plunger that pushes the "fork" into place which engages the the front ring and pinion will break, get stuck, hang up, blah blah blah...just so all the 4wd guys know....a transfer case replacement will only costs about 1500 bucks(transfercaseexpress.com)...fixing that front axel will costs you a small fortune.
As far as racing her up in nuetral...for you I say just rev her up to the flash of the stall...you'll know...it will want to go forward...the on go slam to floor and let off the brake. Not enough...get a stall. Not enough...get a cam....still not enough...break out the wallet.

[QUOTE=dewmanshu]
There is a misunderstanding relating to my post.
The racing up in neutral is to get more braking power so that I can hold the truck back to the flash of the verter. People in the group call it the Ty Shuffle. It builds more braking pressure by building a little more vacuum as I understand it.
AT no time am I abruptly engaging the front axles via the 4WD button or dropping into drive from neutral, nor am I advising doing so.
I've accidently had my truck in auto 4wd like you mention while on a rainy road and took off under good power once from a light. When the front axle engaged it was horrible. Doing that on a regular basis will definately break something.
