It is so odd to turning the locker switch and just have the lockers come on. Sure is annoying FCA wont address this 14 year old design flaw.

JEALOUS! !

Yea its rediculous. I completely understand their thought process about having all of the thresholds... they dont have a choice on that... but they could at least make the system function better.

I have owned a huge list of vehicles with a stock locking rear diff, Titan, 4 Runner, numerous Monteros, ect. And none had major issues going in. Monteros can be a little stubborn going out. All had nannies. So it does not have to be this way. But the locker over ride kit is absolutely fantastic.

Is it really a design flaw? Or an intentional annoyance?

Either way, it's annoying.

Rusty, I got it figured out and sent you a PM. Your locker bypass will work with the factory dash knob and no SmartBar after I reconfigure it for you.

I call it a design flaw. I get we don't want folks locking diffs going down the highway or traveling at high speeds. But why is it the factory lockers on my Montero, Titan, and 4 Runner all lock with in a reasonable amount of time with the nannies? Its called a design flaw. Even the Rubicon ones work ok I hear....so come on, just fix it.
