Slow To Engage Locking Diff Message

I don't think it's possible but is there any way to stop this message from popping up in the info centre Every Single Time I exceed 30kmh while the locking diff is engaged? It's winter here on the Canadian prairies and roads are generally snow and ice covered where at live. Makes driving in town really annoying. On My '11 SD I only had to clear it once per drive cycle.

Well, this may not address the heart of your question, but it allows for your diff to stay locked at any speed:

Thanks BlackBeest. This looks interesting. Anyone here have this product? Does it help with the pop up reminder? Any drawbacks, (other than forgetting it's engaged)?

I would be annoyed too, 8iron. I suggest contacting your local dealer at your earliest convenience. To locate the nearest, click on the link: Ford Find a Dealer - Ford Cars, SUVs, Trucks & Crossovers | Ford.ca Please let me know how the visit goes.

No worries, Mate! I can't take credit for that, honestly, someone posted it up not too long ago and I thought it was a neat little doo-dad.....

Got him!

On the "Slow To Engage" message, I don't think you'll stop that unless you install the above mentioned kit, every time you exceed (20 or 25MPH I think) it will disengage and then re-engage, just doing it's job I suppose. I've never played with it enough to find out.....
