Rear differential lock always on

[Huw Powell]

I thought it might be something like that.  Thanks for confirming that I 
can ignore it.

Ironically, my (78) Chebby K20 was "all wheel drive" from the factory 
(tranfer case options: Hi - Hi lock - N - Lo - Lo lock) but some idiot 
put locking (unlocking) hubs on the front, and probably mucked with the 
transfer case so it's now a hybridge clusterflock.
