Who else has had the pleasure of experiencing a PCS activation? Was on the highway coming home on Saturday when a minivan decided to slam on the brakes and slow to 20MPH because they couldn't figure out which of the 4 lanes they needed to be in. They were maybe 4-5 cars ahead of me and I saw it so I got on the brakes early, but I guess the LC didn't think I was on them hard enough to avoid the car right in front of me and next thing I know the pedal went to the floor and I went full ABS. I was more worried about the car behind me not reacting fast enough and getting rear-ended than I was about hitting the car in front of me; was not expecting it at all. Gotta love weekend drivers in Dallas.

This happened to us on Saturday in Houston lol. Not the most fun experience and it was brought on by my nervous nelly wife with her typical over reaction shrieking to traffic stopping in front of us. It's stuff like that that'll make you question your patience for a loved one lol.

I’ve had it activate when a flatbread truck started to move into the lane in front of me. I was pulling a trailer at the time.

Fun fact, the PCS system was apparently invented by Mercedes, who discovered that the majority of rear end collisions were because the driver didn’t apply the brakes hard enough at first because your natural reaction is to ease into the brakes, then apply more force as you realize your normal braking is insufficient, at which point it’s too late
 
Turned the 200 into rear wheel drive today..
 
Permanently? :D
Let's hope not.. talked to Bryce today hoping to have parts overnighter from you guys.
Intentionally?
No sir. New I was eventually going to to snap on an trail and I did today.
That had to have been quite a bang?
Yes it was... the second I heard that loud bang I knew something bad happened. First day of wheeling for this event too.
Don't be a tease, tell us wha-happa?
Loaded the CV 2 footing on a blue and there was a real loud bang! CV boots look perfectly fine but don't have drive without center diff locked... wasn't even on that hard of a trail but it was just enough load to finally break the weekend front end.
Sorting out the frontend noise?
Yea... on the trails haha. First day and it gave. Diff unlocked I have no drive. Locked I drove 45min to camp no issues. No clucking or anything, will have duralast parts here in the morning to tear everything down and hopefully have 4wd again for the rest of the event
 
Well its a blown diff..
