Default Never noticed it before...

Have had my truck 10 months and never noticed how when your cluster screen is on the setting that shows steering wheel angle as well as front to back and side to side pitch the driveshaft and axle are animated when moving and solid when stopped.

Do you have the small screen between the speedo and tach on your dash? Change it to show steering angle/body lean/body pitch and watch the drive shaft and axle change state.

Yup an if you have 4x4 an put it into 4x4 it shows the t case an front axle moving too, pretty cool. I think the angle finder and steering angle stuff is just badass. Whenever I'm on an overpass an stopped in traffic I look at it haha

I didn't think they had that video screen back in 01, according to your signature that's what you have or is an update warranted?
