Didn't I read a ways back that Prime doesn't do NYC? Something about 53' trailers being prohibited there.

NYC? Long Island? Where are those places lol. I stay off the ne due to high tolls high fuel and little parking. Ive yet to see a load that paid enough to make it worth my time and aggravation. Now if it was to pay $3-4 or more a mile to the truck then maybe. Maybe,lol.

Want to start off with saying thank you to all the drivers who have helped me out on my post here. This forum has gone a long way. So have I ha. Now my question, when should my INTER AXLE DIFF be locked Nd when should it be unlocked. I'm aware of what it does. Thank you guys.

Unlocked, and it's just like a limited slip differential on a car. One tire on pavement, the other on ice - the one on the ice spins 'n spins. When it's locked, the power is divided equally between the 4 sets of tires on your truck. So, if you don't have a airbag dump switch, its useful when you drop a trailer and a set of tires isn't quite on the pavement. Go over a deep rut at slow speeds, and you can get stuck with one axle spinning... lock your differential. Same on snow and ice... if you're having trouble maintaining traction, lock the differential.
Just remember to unlock it... those tires need to be at different speeds going around corners.sage3, ledzeppelin and silenteagle Thank this. -
Owners manual says do not operate above 30 mph while it is locked in
