Ok, people keep posting stuff like this and I really think it needs some clearing up. The way that DCCD works is not by adjusting the front to rear bias. It adjusts the amount of lockup of the center diff. The front to rear bias when unlocked, acting as an open diff is the 40/60 front/rear or whatever split, and when locked is not changed, it's just locked, so that the front and rear wheels have to move at the same speed. Now, it effectively changes the handling characteristics of the car in a way that can seem like the bias is adjusted, but that's not what's actually going on.
