John Wessels has struck a mighty blow for the Syncro with his extraordinary
triumph against the Euromogs and Pinzgaurs, reported here on the list about
a week ago. He forwarded to us real posts from Euromog and Pinzgaur owners
saying that the performance of the syncro was causing them tears of dismay
and envy while their giant rigs lay impotent at the bottom of the hill.
Like a mighty warrior off to slay the dragon, he ventured into their lair
and returned in glory that shines down upon us all and elevates our
credibility in the world at large.

Uh....ahem...that said, it is no surprise that he below responds with
important information to augment the post I made earlier today regarding
the diff lock switch. His post belongs in the archives, hence I am hereby
forwarding it for the benefit of current and future researchers, along with
a little added flowery writing.
