Diff reliability

[Sammyd]

How reliable have your diff been. Easily engaged and disengaged? Any major malfunctions?

I think you’ll find that the diffs have been quite reliable. Engaging them is slightly tricky with the double push. Disengaging them is another story - be ready for large steering wheel turns to turn them off. Definitely harder than the quick on off in a Ford and not something you want to do on and off all day.

They disengage when you unlock the centre diff. The telltale lights are what take a bit of twisting to extinguish.

Actual disengagement doesn't seem to be the issue. Problem being you can't lock them again until the computer decides they have been unlocked..

I recall there was a change of mind software update for MY24+. If you disengaged diff locks you could re-engage them again without the vehicle waiting to confirm disengagement via the wheel speed sensors.

Is it double push for offroad setting and a single for the diff lock?
I got mixed up when I first got mine and went back to the dealer to be shown that I'm an idiot

I am yet to meet the rapid lock- unlock-lock scenario but as they say YMMV.
