Rough Shifts in 4LO

This made me sit and try to visualize possible emergency situations where you need a sudden 50 mph sprint while crawling in 4L.

 

this thread gave me diabetes

 

I had our 5.7 tundra in 4low then did a cold start the next day, put it into gear at high idle and it jumped forward like 5 feet. 4low is very “touchy”.

 

boom. Headshot.

did someone shoot you in the head? You sound brain damaged.

 

Same

What year is that screen shot from?

 

Wait, so the computer actually goes into an overdrive gear while the transfer case is in a gear reduction setting? Sort of defeats the purpose.

Also, 58MPH in 4Lo 6AT 5th gear is like 4,500 RPM. So not only are you in a situation that warrants 4wd, you're doing it at peak engine torque doubled through the transfer case and going to components that are under a great deal of stress. Good thing Toyota warranties these trucks for off-road use (lol) when something breaks.

 

Sorry. I realize that writing above a 3rd grade level might be a challenge for some. I'll try write in a more basic manner.

 

That’s an elaborate and creative response!
