What's the differance between lock, (dial all the way forward) and open, (dial all the way back)?

Lock will try and keep all wheels turning the same speed. If you do this, do it only on slippery surfaces or snow. If you try this on dry pavement and turn, you'll get a lot of noise and grinding as the transmission tries turning all the wheels the same speed.

Full open leaves the differential open, transferring torque at the standard 35:65 ratio.

See this thread for more details and links to detailed info on the DCCD.

kurtisiaka, go do this. today, i put it in "lock", drove around a parking lot and when it started to bind when turning tightly, i could dial it out (by dialing it towards "open"/green). kinda cool.

would the auto setting do this? or is it always in 65/35 and then compensates. Or am i thinking of the wrong thing...lol

 

[4MLA1FN]

yep, in auto, it "automagically" adjusts the amount of lock to prevent the binding. but i thought it was cool to do it myself...okay, only barely.

Yeah, and it actually won't hurt anything to use the lock, either.

Thanks for the help guy, I just needed to be sure.
