Need some help here from you newer generation owners.

Very little knowledge of the 96+ vehicles other than what I know about the 3.4 motors in regards to swaps into pre96 vehicles. I have a few elocker and two in my current 92 pickup.

While shopping craigslist for a donor for another motor swap. I came across a runner that fits the bill. I ask him if it has the locking diff button and he says it does but he sends me a pic of this button.

What is this?

I'm gonna have him send me a pic of the rear end but I still want to know what this button is. Never seen it in 96-02 vehicles. Only newer than 2004

So is there no elocker in it? Like I said, gonna get a rear end picture later but looking to have some future knowledge.

 

Interested in this as well.

Center diff lock. Scroll down in the link.

 

Bummer. So it appears that the vehicles with the 4 tire switch does NOT have the rear elocker that I want in a donor.

This is good to know going forward however. Learned a lot from that page linked above.

THANKS

 

you can always replace the rear axle with an e-locker rear diff and wire in the locker and switch. that way you get a center diff for AWD and a rear diff lock for offroad use
