Is the worst idea ever, I had to unplug the ACD computer to get my car to the dealership to buy the ACD fluid (in an attempt not to hurt the pump)

trying to make a U-turn onto a 3 lane road took a 4 point turn then trying to get into the parking space took so long i just gave up and parked it along the show room curb.

It's the hardest thing I've ever tried to do i wouldn't recomend it to anyone, but other than that i filled the resevoir and my lights came off.

 

Hmmm, so when the ACD computer is not plugged in we have a "locked" center differential. Interesting information.

I drive without ACD all the time... Are you sure nothing else happened to the drivetrain?

 

Drivetrain is fine, the 03-04's have mechanical center diffs they are not hydraulic, if you unplug the pump bas stuff happens. I plugged it back in and the car is driving perfect.

 

Not bad stuff..... INTERESTING stuff!

This would be a great advantage for strait line traction, and I can see it becoming standard operating procedure for drag racing. Especially if you can set up a toggle switch on the power input to the ACD computer so that for normal driving it acts like normal, and then after you get lined up at the staging beams at the drag strip you flip a switch and have a locked center differential.
