But, most everybody is when I find something new and interesting to me.

Anyhoo, I did hear about a locking diff which came out a few years ago. The first wheel that would lose traction would trigger it to shift all traction to the other wheel.

But that on a 4WD sys? Don't know.



Ford has been using such a system for years. I have at least 3 4x4 Explorers in the fleet that have the automatic 4 wheel drive. One of them does not even have a 4x2 selection. Just 'Auto', '4x4 high', '4x4 low'. First I saw it was in the 2000 Explorer, but I'm sure it was around long before then.


Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
