I have been driving the last week on gravel roads with speeds between 60-80 kms per hour. Should the diff lock be engaged for this sort of driving?
Look forward to hearing some answers to my question from the combined knowledge and experience of the AULRO Forum.

Warrick,

As the others have said it wont do any harm to engage the CDL as soon as you get onto gravel.
I have just done the Darling River Run (with a camper trailer) which is about 2500km on gravel. I believe I should have engaged the CDL on my Perentie 4x4 more frequently (i used it about 25% of the time) and that this non use may have contrubuted to the transfer gearbox issues I am currently experiencing. I dont think that jumping out of high range can be caused by this but who knows.
I am investigating the damage this weekend and should know more then.
At the end of the day it is your choice but I know what I will be doing in future.

Regards,
