They probably got fed -up with too many Dick Heads messing about with stuff they dont understand---Yea sealed for life --Good Idea!!

Had some time today to try another test, this time 2 wheels on the same side of the vehicle up in the air. First Video is in the AWD non locked 4x4 mode with the gear shift in D As you can see the BLD did not kick in. Had i given it more throttle it should have kicked in, but I didn't want to fall off the jacks. I did the same thing in the 4x4 locked mode with the gear shift in D Exact same outcome as the above video, BLD did not kick in....

From what I have read, the FDI does have BLD programming, but it must not be as aggressive as the FDII. Seems to be a software/firmware option - no additional hardware required. The CVT seems to be key to the equation.

Has anyone tried to sound proof the cabin? Insulated floor or firewall?

Now THAT was some useful information! Thank you, Barry. I find it interesting to learn that all the hardware incorporated into the BLD system is already on the base vehicle. It sounds like it's only a software and wiring difference. If this is indeed true, then it would seem to be possible to install the system on an FDI. I wonder if they have the same computer? If you could re-program the BLD calibrations into the system on the FDI, and...
