Hi all

I did search and couldn't find an answer to the subject. I was hauling a trailer over mucky ground, and only the rear wheels were spinning.

As I understand things, the 2001 would have a center differential rather than t-case, which would be open with no locking features. This means that in situations of low traction to rear, the rears will spin and no torque will be sent to front.

I assume that normally, if my ABS/Traction control was working, the system would tweak the brakes to shuttle power to the front? My ABS system is off-line.

On a side note, the trenches I dug in getting out were equally deep for both rear wheels. AFAIK there wasn't an LSD option for first gen x53....


Is there a way to lock up the center diff, short of welding the spiders?


TIA
