That means you'll have a mechanical locking diff competing with this new electronic version of a locking diff, with no way to disable either. I'm wondering if this will be a problem.

The mechanical system will be trying to transfer power, while the electronic one is putting brakes to a slipping wheel, which seems like they could easily mess each other up.

Surely the mechanical one will work before the electronic one - thus giving it nothing to do?
