Hmmm thanks Dr Rainer, no,I dont mind you  disagreeing, as long as I can disagree back. Picture this scene, Im driving uphill on a mountain rd covered in ice, managing just about OK no diff locks, slipping a little but happy enough, but around the corner a couple of hundred metres ahead is the school bus(with chains) in the middle of the road picking up schoolkids. Im gonna have to lose my precious momentum and slow down or stop. I WANT MY REAR DIFFLOCK! Do I
a)Pull the switch and hope it will engage within 100 meters (Little to no chance)
b)Engage and blip the throttle a little commiting the deadly crime of traction abuse but seeing my lock in allowing me to slow down and keep a little momentuml before I lose it  and start heading backwards on the ice?

Your call Doc!!!!!
