2wd and slicks with a 4x4
Here's the deal. I want to attempt to run the truck in 2wd with a set of slicks on it, but I'm afraid that running a different size tire in the rear isn't going to play nice with the Autotrack. I don't want to be pulling the front driveshaft at the track either. Any suggestions or ideas?

agreed if its in 2wd i dont see why it would matter..maybe some one knows something i dont..altho if its awd then there would be an issue..but if its awd you wouldnt need slicks unless its in the 10s
are u tryin to run a shorter tire in the rear? if you for some reason do have to keep the tire size the same all the way around..and the slicks are a diff size then the fronts..you could also just find a set of cheap steel fronts and match the front tire size to the height of the rear slicks

I guess I should have went into further detail. I'm not worried about the mechanics of it... I'm worried about the software/pcm issues. The 4x4 has ABS sensors front and rear, speed sensors, and all that jazz to deal with. What kind of ABS/Stabilitrac issues am I going to run into? I'm more worried about it throwing itself into limp mode after I've bought and paid for wheels and slicks.

I got back up at work today otherwise I would go out to the garage and tell you the exact numbers. I think I had a pic or a post on a forum saying the numbers, let me see if I can find it again.
But yes complete elimination. I noticed that even when i held the traction control till it flashed "stabilitrack disabled" it would still kick in if I spun really bad.
if you can take a pic of the fuse layout that on the backside of the fuse box lid I can tell you.

I remember something about that. I'll try to get it tomorrow.
