Seen quite a few of the electric magneto activation coils burn out and fail, and due to the fact they're LSD when not engaged, it makes it even harder to know when its actually working or not. This was the case with a vehicle we had here, but there' quite a few in the states that have had the same issues, quite common. Also the internals being an LSD are not as strong as the ARB internals.
With things like True Tracs and posi tracs, they also become seriously harsh on the axles / CV's when loading and unloading. If I can find a video of a recent trip we did you can see a KJ climbing up through a rutted section and the Tru Tracs going bananas trying to keep up - the whip lash on the axles/CV's is eye wateringly bad.....
There's also a TONNE of control when using selectable lockers like ARB's and less strain on the drivetrain as its locked when traversing ie: no wheel slip. Its wheel slip then wheel grip that destroys diff internals and axles / unis ect.
There's also the times when you need some front lock and no rear lock to pull yourself around an obstacle like a tree ect at the top of a rutter climb. After you've manourvered around it you can turn off the front then leave the rear on to skid steer around it
The only thing that makes a D30 weak or vaunerable is larger tyres and the drivers input. Its ultimatley the driver that dictates wether the D30 will lunch itself or not.
I guess its also a case of whatever floats your boat
do what you want :P!
