Off Road Modes at Higher Speeds

kick on the a/c seat, no swamp ass or swamp *****.

Haha good point, but I was referring to WyoStrom's proposed messy situation

Reading this thread, I just realized that if you don't like ORM mode but drive high speed off road, you just can't have the ELD locked as it will disengage automatically (12mph in 2H and 25mph in 4Hi right ?).

When the ELD automatically disengages above these speeds, does it stay disengaged or it reactivates below these speeds ? I never thought of looking at the dash to check how the ELD works while driving...

I could be wrong, but I think you CAN'T engage it above 25mph 2/4hi and 12mph 4lo.... I've been wrong once before.

A few days ago I was off roading on some high speed trails, 2WD, Sport mode and I decided to try ELD locked to work my drifting skills, was working good at the beginning but now i believe the ELD was disengaging itself...
I always do the 2WD/4WD and ELD switching at complete stop or very low speed to preserve IWEs and gears, so I can check everything is engaged, but didn't notice if the ELD was unlocking on the dash display...need to give it a try again...

Mine does it sometimes too and I know other ppl that have the same issue. I usually get a funky warning when it kicks out tho. Sucks when the 4x4 doesn't work and ur relying on the ELD to climb up/over stuff.

Do you have a white dune flag to go on it?

Like it says, it will disengage above 25 mph in 4H and 12 mph in 4L if ORM is not on. I think it reengages below 20 mph in 4H. I have no idea how 4L acts. If ORM is on, then it will stay locked to top speed.

And I'm like you, I always stop when switching 4x modes. I don't think our supplement covers all these possibilities. F150 manual mentions reengagment below 20 mph but then it also talks about crazy 4L speeds.
