VEHICLE DRIVETRAIN WITH INTERAXLE DIFFERENTIAL AND METHOD FOR DRIVETRAIN OPERATION

Systems and methods for an interaxle differential (IAD). In one example, the IAD comprises a locking assembly that includes a friction clutch, the friction clutch includes a clutch pack that comprises plurality of plates configured to engage and disengage to inhibit and permit speed differentiation between a first axle differential and a second axle differential. The IAD further includes a supply lubrication passage that comprises an inlet that receives a lubricant from an enclosure surrounding an input gear of an axle differential and a first outlet flowing the lubricant to a gear coupled to the clutch pack.
