Crunching / rapid clicking when DAC 4LO active

[brogers Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close brogers]

Hey guys, had my 150 Series for just over a month. Now I've never had DAC / Trac Control etc so this is all new to me.

Out over the last few times using DAC in 4LO, there's this horrid rapid clicking sound and crunching coming from the front of the driver position.

Is this normal??

What happens when you guys are using this?

Cheers.

Dear Bearded Pilot,

Of interest, in my Owners manual, (and hopefully its still there), it had a warning something to the effect...Notice: The DAC makes crunching noises, this is normal, it is not problem and it is functioning as designed...or words along those lines...seriously.

So, time to get out the books, put them on the bedside table, and if you can't get to sleep then start reading....by reading the manual you will be amazed at what you will find...seriously...

Ahhh yes, the manual. I'll put that on my list of things to read.

I activate DAC at the top of the hill in 4L 1st gear. No runaway then.

That's funny, I put my none-DAC box into 4L, 1st gear and it will come down the hill without running away too.

Because yours is a diesel?

You mean they come in a petrol version? Well, I'll be buggered.

I used it once, made by kids cry. Don't use it any more. Makes me laugh when Everest lovers use the DAC argument that the Ford on is better because it works and is slow, but my argument is if you rely on DAC, you shouldn't be in a 4WD to begin with.

Thats my feeling. Tried it once and got SWMBO to try it when she was playing. Both times it got turned off never to be used again. Low gear and Steady manual braking when needed works better for me and i reckon a lot less wear and tear on the car

Ian,

the only time i think it might be useful
hill start stall recovery
I might have to read the manual and see if it works in reverse.
