My 02 Avalanche seems to fight the auto 4 wheel drive.
It bounces in and out of 4 wheel drive so much that I think that is what wore out the spider gears in the front end.
When in 4 wheel drive it is much better because the traction is right there.
I have had times where I have drove 70 miles before I discovered that it was in auto 4 wheel drive and I have had it up to 70 mph.
That is not good , because I believe that it locks the front axles and the only thing that shifts is the transfer case when there is slippage. Which increases wear in the front end driveline.
I had a 1992 Silverado Z 71 Pick Up truck that had a shifter on the floor and even at 150,000 miles it still had all the origional drive train.
Not a single problem with the front end, rear end, drive shafts, transfer case, transmission or engine.
Nothing more than one set of spark plugs and wires the whole time I owned it. And the spark plug wires didn't cost $100 when I changed them either.
It seems like the more conviences they put on them, the more there is to go wrong.
