Oh yes it is going to hurt very much. A patch of black ice in a turn, and you're in the ditch.AKRover said:Since the roads are nothing but ice here I don't think leaving the diff locked is going to hurt it very much.
Mr.Schattenjager, get some thicker hide. What was said about being able to tell whether or not your CDL is locked is completely true, no need in sarcastic comments to a correct response to a completely dumb question.
BaldEagle - it doesn't look like there's a lot of ice in SC. Here in the mountains in winter, a CDL left locked by mistake has a great damage potential on switchbacks.
