Just to be controversial. Who me I stuck my CDL in today on tarmac. Guess what? No dramas, no one died, nothing broke. I did some cornering too. You could sense that it was in, for sure, but barely noticeable. Even managed a T junction. When I pressed unlock, it did. There was no wind up at this point. I wouldn't normally use it like this, I was pushing it to see what it was like. Continued use like this would be sure to result in damage at some point.
CDL categorically works, I go to enough pay and play to know that it is and I have had all the wheels off the ground on a recent test of all the lockers.
Obviously everyone is free to think and do as they please, but the CDL is not just for intense off road driving. The owner's handbook agrees.
My transmission has very little slop in it; it's tight as a mosquito's tweeter. New front diff, bearings, CVs etc etc which might make a difference. See, they're well made these Toyotas not some Midlands fag packet design
Of course I still maintain that with the CD locked, the axle diffs take care of a huge amount of left and right difference. The rear axle especially, as it doesn't have steering. For every extra the outside wheel turns, the inside turns correspondingly less. If it didn't then there'd no point having a diff.
OK look, there was nothing on the telly and I needed the typing practive. Pactrice. Pacritce. Damn.
