    Today I decided to make sure 4 low works without any glitches. I put it in 4 high, waited until the light went solid, put it in neutral, turned the switch to 4 low, put it back in drive. It works perfectly.

    The only thing I am curious about is the fact that it takes a little more pressure on the brakes in 4 low to stop completely. I wonder if this is due to more torque, or if there is something that turns off in 4 low.

    Thoughts?

    Whipper is right, and remember to push the A-TRAC button when you are in L4 for amazing traction enhancement. Enjoy your truck!
