2011 Electronic Locking Rear Questions

Just how does this system operate? I can tell from the Ford literature that there is a switch to activate it but I'm a little unclear about how and when it works.

Will it engage while in 2WD or only in 4WD?

Can you leave it engaged constantly? I assume it only locks up when one wheel is sensed to be spinning. Maybe this is incorrect. Don't know....

I also see that it disengages automatically at 30 mph, which makes sense so you don't break something or loose control.

Anyone try it out yet?

I've got it coming in an 2011 F350 soon (can't wait....)

Thanks.

The 4x4 selector **** will pull out while in either 4x4 mode and will lock the axle until 30mph.
