Gonna buy a new used tahoe.

it will vary the power to the front but not disconnect completely until you push 2wd. if you question the road conditions push auto the the drivetrain determine traction needed. if they are normal press 2wd. in any 4wd mode mileage suffers a bit.

so that quote i just put in about the the autotrac not needing a new driveline, was actually from cognitos web site. when i read it on the forums there was some missing "," but it basically says there are 2 different auto tracs, an old and new. Apparently from what cognito said, i called to verify, that is old and basically any truck from 96-04 needs a new cv driveline if you have autotrac. so that answered my question.. not to decide if its cheaper to buy a used manual transfer case and driveline or buy a new cv driveline...

Nice looking truck! Always loved the burgundy!

new shafts are about $ 500 and are so much easier to install then trying to put in manual case and modify the control systems to use it and still operate effectively with rest of vehicle.

Ya I know but I'm cheap LOL. But I did talk to my local driveline shop and they can modify mine for $350

honestly auto 4 wheel drive is a terrible idea and not needed IMO, my kon has it and ill never engage it. just the idea of it trying to engage while everythings already moving at a good rate of speed just doesnt seem to add up to longevity of the driveline especially on older units like ours, my shit is always either in 4wd or 2wd no autotrac bs.
