Hey folks. I have a '94 ext cab pickup with a 4cylinder,with 4.88 gears and 33's. I am interested in installing a electric locking diff out of a Tacoma. Anybody have any info on this or is it even possible? Should I just try to just install the whole axle? Also what about the wiring it takes to run it? Is the taco e-locker my best option or should I go with something else? Just looking to do this on a slight budget but want it to work properly. Thanks
Lee

 

need to modify your axle housing there is tons of info just search and welcome to y.t!

 

Inchworm sales most of the crap you'll need and probably explain it to, Marlins site does too, oh and don't for get pirate, might even be in the facts here.


Welcome and might want to introduce yourself.

 

Read this site, lots of details on install

 

Thanks guys. I was having trouble wording it correctly in the search to get it to bring up anything. This forum is setup a little differently than what I'm used to. Some of the links that I was was able to pull up are no longer available. I think I have enough info to get me started. I'm going to call around to my local junkyards to day to see if I can find the rear end and hopefully the ECU to control it. From what I have read installing the 3rd member will not be a problem. I work in a machine shop, so that parts taken care of. I could also do the homemade relay setup, but would like to have the ECU. I'll also have to call to get a price on the 4.88 gears for the unit. This whole idea popped back into my head after getting hung-up Friday night and having to walk home. Cant be having that! I think I'll hang around here for awhile and see what else I can find. Thanks for the help.

Thanks again guys. I did find a 3rd member out of a V6 today. The place wanted $535 for it.

 

not too bad of a price, its similar to what I was quoted. Remember to either regear or grab the front diff front the same truck.

 

try car-parts.com for used elocker

 

I already have the 4.88's in my truck so I'll just have to get up a set for the rear. Thanks for the tip on car parts.
