Funny you should mention that. The mechanic asked the same thing. I dragged out the manual and it states in there that it can be engaged and disengaged at any time.

They then proceeded to call Rockwell and they said the same thing as the manual although they said to keep the speed under 35.

It wasn't the rear end. It's the power divider or splitter. Whatever you call it. It's the box that engages the other rear end when you lock the differentials in.

I guess the $500 I get for TONU is better than the industry average, then. Chalk another one up for being leased to a company!

BC, why are you doing HHG? I thought you had some super great trade show gig that you were going to make $250,000+ per year off of.....
I wanted to change things up for a minute. I just got off a $25000 linehaul to Canada. Felt different, not running so hard. I'm still with a speccom agent and my reload is set to go home for a wedding.

And the money is good where I'm at. In 5 months I grossed over half the projected 250K mark :wink:
