Does the center diff truly lock or is it one of those visco clutch deals?
Personally, I would like to see a T-case offer 2wd, 4Hi full-time, 4Hi part-time, and 4Lo with a true locking center diff. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I too would like to have seen a 2wd option on the t-case, not sure why they don't have it, probably cheaper and easier to make it the way it is. They figured a full-time 4wd is fine.
As for the locking t-case, I'm not sure whether it's a locking or viscous deal. Most the high-tech mechanical guys will tell you that only the axles have differentials, etc....our transfer case doesn't exactly have a differential, but something so similiar that it's fine to think of it as a locker. In normal operation I think we split power 70% to rear and 30% to front, then it become 50/50 when locked.
Here is one thing I can tell...from experience: if you jack 3 wheels up in the air and try to move forward with just one wheel on the ground...you won't go anywhere in 4-hi UNlocked. Once you switch to 4hi-locked, you'll move on that one tire on the ground.
