I just talked to a Nissan Rep at 1-800-nissan1 and complained about this problem. I suggested that the engineers spend 5 minutes to integrate an automatic switch that would disable VDC in 4-LO or when the e-locker is engaged. That way you could have both VDC and e-locker. He said that was a great idea (obvious) and that the engineers ask the Reps for suggestions that customers have at the end of every day. The Rep recorded the complaint/suggestion and said he would give it to the engineers today. I don't expect anything to come of it, but at least the word will get back to them.

I also just called 1-800-nissan1 and spoke to a rep about combining the VDC and e-locker. The rep told me that he had received similar inquiries from others and said that he contacted the engineers and was told this (this is the rep paraphrasing): "we cant combine the e-locker and vdc due to a technology issue but it shouldn't matter because the VDC is better anyway".
I politely told him that that is the biggest bunch of bull$hit i have ever heard for two reasons. 1) the VDC and e-locker are two different devices (traction aides) used in completely different situations, thus one can not be better than the other. 2) if they really believed that VDC was better than, or could replace the need for the e-locker then they should offer the offroad package without the e-locker instead of the big tow package without the VDC.
The rep had no comment but said he would forward my suggestion. I told him that this was the only thing keeping me from ordering a Titan today (which is true). This whole thing is really starting to pi$$ me off because I need a new truck soon if not now. I just want Nissan to provide us with a legitimate explanation of why they wont combine VDC with thee-locker. :gunz:
