I felt the topic deserved it's own thread.
The ABLS seems like a pruned version of VDC. Both use the brake system and sensors. ABLS is not dynamic, nor does it affect engine output.
I don't see how the brake system can modulate fast enough to perform like a LSD. If the system is not fluid/fast enough it could make controlling the truck difficult.
I don't like the thought of having the brakes work against the engine. Brakes aren't designed to clamp and transfer torque, especially 380 ft-lbs. The brakes will lose. They are for stopping vehicles.
I'm concerned about warped rotors, glazed pads, reduced brake life, and failed system components. Operating on the front and rear is nice. But can it match the performance of a LSD? I wish Nissan would provide more technical merits of the system.
