I tried to express my awareness to the common knowledge of an auto locker in a full-time 4wd vehicle. I even expressed that it was a waste of time to respond with that type of information.

Yet all the posts were the same redundant posts that get thrown up when a noob asks questons like this. I am not a noob...please don't treat me as such. And don't ignore the question asked. Basically, unless you have driven with an auto locker in the front and rear of a full-time 4wd vehicle you couldn't possibly answer my question.

NaterGator...its not quite the same. An e-locked front end is a spooled front end. The autolocker on the other hand, can release each side to spin at different RPMs but they both must be faster than the pinion. The open center diff allows both axles to spin freely of eachother, but one must be atleast the speed of the input shaft RPM.

Also, bpassmore...on-road, with un-locked hubs, and the front drive-shaft disengaged, there would be no noise and one wouldn't be able to tell if there was even a locker in the front end at all....would be the same as a 2wd vehicle.

What I would like to know is this: on-road, with locked hubs (drive flanges still installed) and an open center diff (not 2wd or true 4wd) what is my rig going to drive like?
