That's a really good point. It's nice to have choices, but what would you do with all those intermediate choices? I mean, what driving conditions really demand only a 25%-75% split and nothing else?Originally Posted by orion
I can't see why I'd need 67.4% the the front
The only "forced" split ratio I am interested in is 50%-50% F-R (or 100% engagement of the front axle - however you want to look at it). That would be the equivalent of full-time 4WD-hi, which we don't have. I find the ToD system to be at a loss on smooth dirt or somewhat snowy roads when there is enough traction loss to confuse the ToD system (that constant on-off-on-off-on-off). That's when I find the system lacking and I want a locked 50%-50% split. When the conditions get worse, you go to 4WD low range and slow down. If they improve, regular ToD operation is fine.
I would also suggest to include a 0% front-axle engagement setting or a circuit that cuts power to the ToD entirely in order to achieve RWD (when used with unlocking front hubs). The ToD clutch pack is designed to operate with some slippage constantly, so I am not worried about trashing it with a 0% setting or cutting the power.
