OrangeCrush is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: i need some persuasion!

I agree. With the truck in 4WD, the front and rear axle is still a limited slip front and rearend. Only with the rear axle locked does the rear axle become a locker.

Like UC said, ideally installing an aftermarket lockable front diff would be great.... having said that, I have yet to get the H2 stuck so I'm not sure how necc. a lockable front diff is needed...lol.

In 4H the vehicle basically works as an open diff system with only the traction control to help it regain traction. With the locked central diff the power is split evenly on both front and rear axles and even if one or both wheels on one axle spin the other axle will still have power to move the vehicle. If you also lock the rear diff it will do the same with the rear axle. Even if both front wheels and one of the rear ones spin the other one will have power to move the vehicle. The ideal setting would be to also have a front locking diff. I think there are aftermarket ones available.
That?s how I think it works, if I?m wrong please correct me.
