On 2018 to 2024 Wranglers with part time 4wd, there is a FAD (front axle disconnect) Basically, the front DS does not spin while in 2WD.

No your wrong and I'll prove it. Disconnect your fad or turn it on , jack up the drivers front tire. Spin the tire and look the front ds spins.
It's splined into the ring gear so it will turn. The fad only disconnects the passenger side.

Thanks for your comment!

You seem to be an expert on how the FAD system works. So, can you explain how it actually works?

I'm driving down the road in my Rubicon with all 4 wheels on the ground and I ask myself...

Where does all that energy in the front axle go while in 2wd?

What is the ring and pinion doing while driving in 2wd?

Why doesn't my t-case explode when I shift from 2wd to 4wd while driving?

You expertly provide factual information.

Go!
