When i was out 4wheelin on the weekend, i noticed something i havnt before... when i was fully articulated, and beginning to loose traction, i was giving it some power, the wheels didnt feel like that had a constant power/4WD engaged to them, it felt like the 4WD system was engaging and releasing fairly quickly, it was jerking backwards and forwards, and it was enought to bounce me around, its a bit hard to explain, but i hope i explained it ok... i have manual hubs too...

Anyway, i dont have the traction control in mine, and was just wondering if this is normal for the GV, or if there is a problem ? :roll:

Nope no bangs or clicks... yesss, i do know its only 2WD when one wheel is in the air... it just felt odd, you hit the power and it would bounce up and down, and you could hear the wheels getting drive and then loosing it, in quick succession... :roll:

Sounds like the diffs swapping power to the easier side. Nothing to be concerned about, lockers will fix it though :helloo:

Fixed.

Calmini list the Vitara LSD for about $500 from memory, pretty sure you need to put it in the Vitara 3rd to get it to work in the GV.
