Many thanks to all the persons who wrote about the pros and cons of open, limited slip, and locking differentials on 4WD and 2WD vehicles. The discussions were an awesome help as I plan to replace my old 2WD F150 having open differential with a newer model 2WD possibly equipped with the 3.55 electronic locking differential paired with 2.7L engine.
But my question and concern is a lot more basic than what persons normally dive into.
With the 3.55 electronic locking differential, is it correct that it will never engage unless I decide to manually press a button or some other trigger ?
I'll only be getting the locking feature for the infrequent occasions that we go onto dirt roads which can be muddy if the weather hasn't been kind. With my current truck, I weave around were possible and hope that I avoid deep muddy spots. Someday my luck might run out.
