It is only due to my laziness pure and simple.

If I already had the linkages and the proper four pole switch in hand I might make the time to install it, wire it up and adjust it to work as designed. I'm not against having the feature at all. I may eventually cross paths with the right hardware at a good price but until then I will muddle through without it. Not having it hurts nothing.

Stopping to engage direct drive is no problem for me because I only use it when towing. Been doing it that way for 13 years all over the continental US and never met an incline Rusty couldn't climb.



Sometimes you got to leave 'em like you found 'em.
