As I said, you gave one of many that don't appear to have a common consensus or any authoritative source.
"Traditional" is the keyword there. Lots of AWD systems are driver-selectable.
The center diff does the same thing, which is why I said earlier that it could be considered a "transfer case", obviously with the addition of a differential.
Great, so we agree on that.
I edited my comment to include the NPS' definition and explained how and why it's incorrect.
Repeating yourself doesn’t make you more right. It does however increasingly make you look like an ignorant ass that has no desire to actually learn anything.
If you think a center differential does at all the same job as a transfer case then you definitely need to do a lot more reading. They are entirely different components with completely different roles in a vehicle. There are AWD systems that can selectable, that doesn’t make them 4WD. And you still haven’t sourced anything. You just keep saying I’m wrong. So if I’m wrong then provide some actual evidence.
The only thing I'm reading is the statement you provided, which has no differentiation.
I have been studying and building transfer cases and center diffs since before you were born, I know what I'm talking about.
Yes, that was my point, thank you.
That's not what's happening. I said we're both wrong, and explained in great detail exactly how and why. What kind of source are you looking for that will explain that it has no definitive answer? All of your sources are my source.
You’ve been studying and building transfer cases and differentials for decades? Are you just running down the list of shitty internet troll tropes?
I was responding on this thread for people who wanted answers about something they didn’t understand. Not to argue with someone who just wants to argue.
No, I'm just explaining that this is quite literally my expertise.
I'm not sure how you can think I'm "arguing just to argue" while you're arguing with me? What is it that you think you're doing that I'm not?
