I did a few searches and couldn't find any info on this. I'm sure it's a stupid question, but is it ok to leave the center diff locked full time? Are there any benefits to doing this? Cons?
Sweet! good to know. I've owned AWD cars in the past but my Subaru's were all full-time AWD and so was my Suzuki SX-4. Well, you could lock the Suzuki's center diff, but it would shut off at 37mph.
It's still fulltime awd switched off, and it's why the bpt swap is considered a good thing cuz you get a viscous centerdiff.
Yeah it is but with the open center diff its a poor full time awd set up...
Leaving the center diff locked is like driving a 4x4 pick up in 4wd high with your hubs locked in all the time... its bad.. you'll break the transfer gears..
I had noticeable issues driving my GTX on asphalt, was able to hear the wheels binding and I won't even go into detail about turning into parking stalls...

was that with the diff locked?? If it is, that what you'll get... If it was with out the diff locked chances are the planetary gear is blown up in the center diff.. you can look at some of my old carnage pics for what I am talking about..

Yeah, it was when I first brought the car to Alberta. The diff was locked with a broken switch and for a short time I didn't have enough extensions to manually disengage it. Sometimes the wheels would bind so much when trying to park at those slow speeds the car would stop. I knew what was up so I just found a different stall that wouldn't blow up my diff.
