They do not. At least, not the M1001, M1002, M1003 and M1004. What color
are the axles? Lavender/white under green/grey: no. Blue/grey under
anything else? I don't know, but doubt it.
MAN have been TERRIFIC in terms of factory support for my '02; I'd be
shocked if a polite email didn't get you all your questions answered. I'm
just a fan, they build 'em. :-)

I have an M1002, and it's as easy as flipping a switch. In fact, each axle
has a 3-position switch to go from open to drive to locked, which would be
great if you get in a stuckie and don't want to splash dirt from the least
effective tire.

In comparison, it doesn't go bad. In real life, it does. It can get
algae, water from tank condensation, rust, dirt...all the usual "gas
tank-itis." Usually takes many many moons to go bad, though.
