indeed!

Glad to hear it sparked back to life with the new timing belt back in. You're ready for some business again

Stuck on Snow

Hi, I was confuse and curious about my treg when I was stuck on the snow. At first I move the auto diff to low and press it down then it doesn't work, I put it back to auto diff and press it down and it doesn't work either. I press also the esp off and still I'm stuck. But anyway I asked help from my neighbor to push my treg.
My question is, situation like this, what is the best thing to press or move in the treg? Is the auto diff button should always be press down?
Any advise?
Thank you very much.

Do you have the manual for your Treg? Pushing the knob down is not part of the setting. It just keeps the knob out of the way. You have to have the car in Neutral to select low range. I think you need to spend some time with your manual and read the diff selection section so you understand how it works.

The selection knob needs to be turned, not pushed

Great news about your Treg, Gator!

That is a nasty looking mudhole there.

I assume you are going back there to try again right?

Now that the Treg is running, when is the Treg-Mud re-match scheduled?

Yep, planning on it. I might have a new ride by then though. Looking at a Porsche Cayenne S. Don't know if I'll be ready to sink that one in the mud yet.

Might have to tag along with you...we will see.
