Drove with locking differential ON. (2 Viewers)

[DeCicco]

All,

I wanted to know if anyone has experienced any issues after driving 100 miles with the differential on lock?

If so, how did you rectify the issue?

Thanks,
Decicco

From he best of my knowledge, the locker «can't» be engaged without using the 4Lo.

Even if you pressed the button, the locker probably did not engage and the light would probably have blinked to indicate that it was not engaged

EDIT : I'm speaking for the REAR locker. If you talk about CENTER differential lock, there is likely no problem. This is not ideal but it does not create a problem for the drive train.

Plenty of peeps have bumped it with their knee inadvertently, no issues. Just don't go do tight circles endlessly on pavement.

I asked because I didn't notice it until I needed to turn and the turning made the steering appear to jerk. Once I turned off the differential the steering was smooth again. It had been on 4high the whole time driving on the highway.

Thanks again for the prompt responses.

No problem with the CDL so long as not doing a lot of turns on dry pavement.
