    That same sticker was on my 2001 Tacoma.. So you are saying in over 10 years they can't get it right?

    I know it will work fine over 5 mph... and can engage at 0 mpg to 5 mph... but I believe this is a serious warning to keep people from driving off cliffs or into trees should they be locked and not realize that the truck takes longer to turn when the rear tires cannot rotate at different speed (the purpose of an open differential).

    Paul, no photo is showing, just a red x...?

    no, they have Michael B-Trac.

    only usable in 4lo, it causes massive amounts of explosions and a slight loss of storyline
