[V8] rear diff lock?

[Michele_Deltergo at KeyBank.com]

Ingo,
Correct on all fronts.  I'll check the diff level, mad at myself for not 
having it done while in the shop for suspension, DOH!  Waiting for warm 
weather to pull the dash and correct the poor ground for temp/fuel gauges. 
 My flash to pass is not working, is this another electrical gremmy or 
combi switch issue?  I'd guess combi as my miles till empty will not 
illuminate at times even though it is selected by the combi.  Swapped out 
the fuel pump, FPR to be done and noticed a drop in MPH, ha!  So much 
smoother than the I5, which I always thought was smooth for its 
configuration!
Mike

Since it's a torsen, there's nothing you can check except to make sure the
fluid level is there and that the same size tires are on both sides of the
axle and that they're properly inflated. I've had this happen in reverse 
as
well on occasion, btw.  I'm assuming you're speaking of the V8 and not the
200, btw.  If it is the 200, then I'd check for faulty/sticking actuator 
at
the rear diff.

I guess it's good that you don't drive to work in reverse ;-)
