I was just wondering. Forgive my ignorance. I understand how the front and rear axles can turn at diffrent speeds in a turn thus the need for a center diff. And I have seen first hand on my own disco how locking this diff helps off-road. But how does my buddies 99 Jeep Cherokee get by without a center diff. Dosent the jeep operate like the disco would if the diff were locked all the time? Isnt this bad for the trans? Please explain why the Jeep survives without a center diff but the disco could not. Thanks for enlightening me. |

Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee.
Old cherokee is part-time 4wd, so while it doesn't have a center diff, it's a similar concept to locking the center diff, when it's put into 4wd.
Grand is different and someone went over that in the yahoo disco2owners group. |

Grand is a VC I thought. |

Daniel- There was a good overview of 4wd systems and diffs on
http://www.howstuffworks.com/four-wheel-drive.htm
You can get into the ETC and CDL arguments from there.
