as for hydroplaning, you can do that just as easily in AWD as you can in 2wd. just depends on your speed. i agree smooth, AWD is good to have but not very necessary. we dont really get a whole lot of rain here so i dont need it. im used to midwest weather so a little rain here and there doesnt really bother me...heheh
as for pulling the fuse, not yet. i will be doing that very soon though and i will let you know what i come up with.

im originally from michigan. about 45 mins north of grand rapids. i figured pulling the fuse would disable all of it. i will have to try and track this brown wire down and see what i can come up with.
lol...grand rapids,not to far from me at all.....as far as this "brown wire",i dont seem to have one...i got 4 wires coming off the switch...from left to right they are "light bue with red stripe-blue-dark blue-and black.....so any ideas anyone?

so this is what my contact had to say, and trust me, he is VERY REALIABLE...
"With how the transfer case is on our trucks, you can cut that wire, but it is still going to leave it in AWD. The transfer case is set up to be on 5% of the time with now power applied. So, you will just not feel the transfer case engage when you have slippage. More of a hassle than it is worth in my book. But, it is up to you."

i have thought about doing the same but i dont think it will completely disable the AWD will it? and if it does, you are disabling your 4wd as well. but then again, its on a toggle so shouldnt matter right? i think it could work.

well if its just a simple fuse and if it works. try it on dirt from a dead stop and poeple around to see, then if u ever need 4x4 put the fuse back. its a pain but itll work. or just make a toggle switch for it. that should also work. but make sure theres an inline fuse for the switch.
