Diff locker question on necessity.

[GP NOIR]

...the Jeep systems engineers turn it off in 4lo because by definition you should never been in 4lo on a normal roadway which is when you need traction control...

Sometimes, you want traction control off-road. Having the BDS when getting a tire in the air with open diffs or LSD in 4lo could be quite handy.

BLD (brake lock differential) is on ALL THE TIME. - for exactly the reason you mentioned - a tire in the air with open diffs

ABS (antilock brakes) and ESC (electronic stability control) are turned off when in 4lo in a jeep.

Note - BLD uses the individual wheel speed sensors plus the ABS software to determine that a wheel is spinning and will brake JUST that wheel.

Like anything else on a Jeep, not a necessity, until it is.

Like insurance, better to have it and never need it, than to need it and not having it.

First, you'll do well to figure out who are Mods and Admins.

Second, that is a Sister forum to here.
