It’s happening at barely more than idle. I’ll have to take it in, which is bs because I’ve only had the stupid thing 3 days.No, it does not change the ELSD. It does engage the center diff from the onset in all 3 of those modes (sport, Sand, and Mud) It does make throttle response more linear so you likely have more acceleration at the same throttle position.
If inside tire chirps, you over-powered it (i.e. accelerating more than the friction of the tire can maintain with the turn radius). The inside tire always spins slower than the outside tire, and differentials are designed to enable that.
if you notice odd behavior, like tires skipping or binding, your diffs are locked which can cause failure if you keep doing that.
There are a lot of variables here, so if you can replicate it for them it would be good to understand what they say.It’s happening at barely more than idle. I’ll have to take it in, which is bs because I’ve only had the stupid thing 3 days.
I’m trying to eliminate as many of those variables as possible. It really feels like the differential is hanging up, forcing the inside tire to try to turn as fast as the outside. It seems to be worse on the drivers side.There are a lot of variables here, so if you can replicate it for them it would be good to understand what they say.
The elsd should only engage with current. Try to pull the fuse or disconnect the connector on the rear axle case. I'm assuming you do not have the locker engaged (green icon on dash with x between rear wheels)I’m trying to eliminate as many of those variables as possible.

I just got back from driving it around in circles in a parking lot for half an hour. I’m more stumped now than before.The elsd should only engage with current.

I agree, it does. Problem is that it’s not on 4H. It’s acting this way in 2H and in 4A.Sounds like you’re in 4H on dry pavement. Set it to 2H and see what the truck does.
