Perhaps I should have been more specific
I meant the system in a Quattro car, as opposed to the system in a scooby, or another AWD that isn't a truck. Are there any differences in their operation?

Other brands have different %'s of torque split between axles and wheels
Some brands are basically a front wheel driver with torque sent to the rear if the fronts slip, some are the reverse. I think quattro is almost 50/50.

How's the new job going?
I e-mailed you a few weeks ago but it got bounced back to me. I'm moving up there in the next 2 weeks. Found a place near BU, but no work yet. I figure I'll temp until I find THE job over the next month or two.
