[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7260430, member: 718"] Pickups like this, apart from the defunct MercedesV6 and top full time 4x4 versions of Amarok plus one drive mode on many Mitsu L200 do not have a centre differential. They therefore always 'wind up' when turning when four wheel drive is engaged due to the back axle following a shorter path than the front [when going forward] and therefore the need for one axle to turn as a 'different' speed to the other. When locked together like this they obviously can't turn at different speeds. The same would happen across an axle where no diff was present, as on most quad bikes, or with tractors when diff lock was used. Of course the pickup has exactly the same system design in principle as a tractor, and you probably know that all tractors wind up in the same way as the pickup when in 4wd. I am somewhat surprised that you did not know this, as it is as basic as it gets. Are you new to pickup trucks and/or tractors? Apparently you have had it for three years and you have only now noticed this? I'm somewhat amazed. [/QUOTE]
