I have only recently purchased a 2001 TX prado and have been going over the whole fluids etc and whilst checking the rear I noticed the TX models with Traction control have an Open type diff, I have read a bit more into it and it uses the individual brakes to regulate traction, I can understand that concept.
My question is, how will the TC ECU view it if I fitted a Lokka or LSD setup to aid traction as well as using the TC? My logic would have it that it should work ok, TC having to do less work as the wheels should grip and rotate in unison.
But not having really driven the prado offroad yet, maybe not worth doing, let the TC do the work.
Would I be better off fitting all new Slotted RDA rotors and good pads instead just to give the system a margin before brake fade if it really gets worked?
