So, if your center diff were fried.....

How would you know?

Like, say it were towed on a non-flat bed truck while you were not present. Could you tell when you got the car back or what?

you wouldn't be able to drive it, or it would like a lot of metal hitting a lot of other metal.

i would think that you'd either a) have no drive to any wheels at all or b) have drive to some wheels with great irregularity -- essentially making the car undriveable.

I'm just worried becuase the body shop who is fixing my car towed it to the dealer, and I didn't even remember to tell them to tow it on a bed, so how would they know.

Maybe I got lucky. If I have to wait another week, I'm going to be a very sad sonicuby

umm... if the center diff was fried... wouldn't it still be drivable.. i would think it would seem ok on dry flat surfaces but if you go... say on ice the front will start spinnning while the rear will not do anything.
