I have a query on ‘diff Bind’ and seek guidance with the Ford
Ranger auto 4WD please.
My 2.8T 21 ft dual axle van has to be reversed up a short brick paved incline – about 30 metres and shifted across about 3 – 4 metres to park alongside a garden shed after entry through an ‘only just wide enough’ driveway between neighbours bushes one side and fence on t’other – so it has to be slow and carefully negotiated.
Years ago this would have been a simple chore in low range in a manual with front diffs out, but with the
RANGER being Auto I am not game to try the low range option.
If I don’t get it right it causes some angst with the boss and there is little room for back and fill adjustments.
Is there an easy solution to circumvent the diff bind or is there little chance of it over the short distance?
I accept shifting the shed would be the sensible move but with the bit of garden in the way that is not permitted :O((
Cheers & thanks
