I, like many 392 Wrangler owners, enjoy the many features of the JL Tazer Mini, one of which for this topic of discussion being Forced RWD.
I realize a lot of members drive in Forced RWD regularly and have for some time...
But does anyone know what is really going on when forcing rwd?
My understanding is that when activating Forced RWD with a Tazer Mini, the electric motor inside the transfer case, that is designed to add force to clutch pack to regulate percentage of front engagement of full-time 4 wheel drive, is now forcing to keep front drive clutches disengaged.
I have never read any discussion as to what this does to the longevity of the already known venerable electric motor inside our transferases.
Does extended use of Forced RWD over work the electric motor inside the transfercase?
What causes more stress to the electric motor, holding clutches open or forcing them together?
Are front drive clutches completely disengaged or slipping that can cause premature wear?
I would appreciate help understand what's really going on here.
