im guessing this makes it so you dont have to hold down the clutch to start the engine, you can just have it in neutral

Mark you didn't find that thread by using the search function did you...haha J/K Fooddude. That button is pretty cool. I use it to start my truck in the mornings before work so I don't have to get all they way into it to push in the clutch. Offroad it works wonders too.

That button is handy when offroading. In the other thread they talk a lot about uphill. I found it very useful a few times when going downhill and getting stuck, i.e engine stalled. Anytime you need the traction and breaking power of the car in gear and don't have time for a few tire revolutions until the clutch is fully released it's good to be able to start in gear. You get a smooth start, no lurching. I would of course only do it in 4Lo!
Main other use: start the car without getting in when airing up with the little TruckAir compressor.
