AWD DSM's use the viscous (not vicious) coupler to keep power going to both the front and rear wheels at the same time. The rear LSD keeps power at both rear wheels, the front diff is open and could allow one of the front wheels to spin unless you install a LSD or other type of locking diff at the front.

We do get power to all 4 wheels under power as long as one of the front wheels doesn't start breaking traction.

Everyone keeps wondering why my car turns itself off.  I say because it is smart and walk away.
Hahaha!! I was once one of the people that asked all of the time, but now I get to laugh at other people's stupidity

No, no, no. 4 wheel drive means you can shift into 4 wheel drive or be in 2 wheel drive. AWD means you are 4x4 full time.
jet is right

Sounds good to me...that's why I have AWD!! :D

All Wheels Driving All the time lol
yeah all wheel drive is all wheels driving at all times. 4wd is like in trucks when you can only have 2 wheels drive or 4 if you are off road.... I know a guy with a 97 that has no limited slip in the rear of his GSX. Also they didn't make a 4wd eclipse but the guy was a dumb shit and I was talking about an awd eclipse and he said "you are stupid they never made a 4wd eclipse".

hints was I said about he ment awd... he didn't know the difference. trust me if you knew this guy you would know.

Although Chevy and Ford did make some trucks in the late 70's-early 80's that were fulltime four wheel drive. You could switch between 4-LO and 4-HI but not 2WD.

Most new trucks now have shift-on-the-fly 4wd. Beats the hell out of stopping, getting out and locking in the front hubs and then moving along. And then to take it back out having to unlock the hubs, shift into 2wd, backup until you heard a "click" and then proceeding forward.
