Here is a test of AWD and 4WD.

From what I've read on the various JK forums over the years, BLD is part of TCS, but requires the simultaneous use of brakes and gas to engage (which I think is why kojackJKU mentioned "pulling up the e-brake a few clicks").

Personally, I've never seen it work. When the open/open JKs that I wheel with get a tire in the air, that tire gets all of the power. I have seen a few videos showing it in action, so I have no doubt that kojackJKU's figured it out and has good luck with it.

Maybe my experience was positive because I have a rear limited slip. I was changing the oil with my son yesterday and wanted to teach him how an open dif works. I jacked up one wheel on the rear axle and expected it to just spin when I put it in drive. I was quite surprised after I turned off the traction control that the Jeep tried to drive off the jack. I've had power locks, posi's, trac-locks and eaton trutracs before and none of them would do that unless you applied a little brake. It acted more like a detroit locker then a limited slip dif. Naturally, after the oil change we went and climbed some hills!
