As you see that defeats future quotes. Maybe just bold and italicize...?
Good information though. I wonder if Ford engineers are just reducing heat load on the diff's internal solenoid for longevity. Maybe also part of their overall energy reduction programs like their "battery tender or minder" or whatever they call it. The diff solenoid has to be heat resistant though, the extra heat from 100% current can't add much more heat than the gear heat itself. An odd place to control duty cycle, unless it's for the TCCM.
