Factory Electric Locker

[JamesRich]

Hey Guys,

I found a 93 in a salvage yard, I think it was an SE. It had a premium sound system with speakers in the roof even. No leather though but had quite a few options. The rear axle had the orange sticker stating to only use LSD fluid. But right up at the pinion yoke it had some wires going into it. I looked over the dash and there were no switches that said anything about locking axles. There was some kind of switch that said something about power but I think it was for the auto trans. I tried turning one wheel and it would not turn without the drive shaft turning so it was at least LSD.

Did some trucks come with factory electric lockers? If it did I assume it would lock when shifted to 4 low?

93+ all had roof mount rear speakers. You can remove the headliner and bracket in the roof and mount it into older Pathys though.

 

The wires on the pinion are for the ABS sensor. It does have LSD (closest to locker stock ever got).

Ok Cool. I'm not interested in the overhead speaker I just figured it was higher trim level with more options than an SE.

Thanks for clearing up the wires in the differential. I thought it might have been like the titans electric locker. This truck has rear disk brakes too, which brings up another question.

I wanted to do the rear disk swap because this truck will be in mud and water alot. I figured the disk would be better because I wouldn't have to worry about taking off the drums occasionally to clean them out. But I forgot about the drum emergency brakes on the disk set up. Do you guys with rear disk have a problem with crap building up inside the rotor when you play in the mud? This little truck stops way better than my titan with the 06 "upgraded" brakes so I'm not really looking for better stopping power just less maintenance.
