Hi again,

Just wondering what you guys leave it at. On or Off? What are the benefits and does leaving it on affect performance/mpg etc.

Thanks All,

I leave it on all the time, unless I am doing some acceleration tests, then I turn it off.

I leave mine on (it keeps me outta Trouble), unless I need to accelerate out of a situation, then I disengage it, cuz if the tires break loose (and they will), the VDC shuts me down, then, I'm in trouble!!

For Better MPG i think it is best to keep it on. when i get stuck in snow i turn it off and put it in 4 hi and the Armada drive right out.

I havent had a chance to really test the Armada since im going through the break-in period. I did just hit 999 miles so im almost there. Do you guys leave the shifter in 4 when driving around town? I read somewhere that some people are doing this to keep the engine from searching for gears when in D on city streets.

Me too. Excellent advice, brief, to the point and accurate.
