Yep, a lot of work.....I think I'll just order the e-diff on my D4 - a lot easier....

Or just fit a potentiometer (or switch) and make it a manual locker.

Did you just say that one can install the "lump" on top of the rear differential and then run some wires to a switch and for good or bad, have a manually operated locking rear differential?Originally Posted by isuzurover
If I misunderstood, I sure swallowed that one.

Sort of - I imagine you would need to change the entire diff/internals from standard to the e-diff - but that is basically what I meant.Did you just say that one can install the "lump" on top of the rear differential and then run some wires to a switch and for good or bad, have a manually operated locking rear differential?
If I misunderstood, I sure swallowed that one.
It would be quick and easy to run completely seperate, manually controlled, wiring for the e-diff. You would just need to know the voltage needed to achieve a complete lock (which you could find using bench testing) - but presumably this would be 12V. Then buy a either a switch or suitable potentiometer to work it.
The computer won't know that an e-diff is fitted, and won't be able to control it, but it you can. The traction control system will just think that both wheels have the same amount of traction when the diff is fully locked.
Unlike the e-locker fitted to toyotas, the e-diff is not really a true locker, more an e-lsd.

SupporterSurely an aftermarket diff lock could be modified to fit in the diff housing. I guess it would be a matter of finding which one is the most suitable and having the skills and equipment to make it fit and work.
Here is chance for some enterprising individual.

I posted this in a previous thread:
ARB need to be sure there is quite a big market out there before they invest the R&D
So it seems it is not easy. Maybe Ashcroft or Jacmac are a more likely option.

What I did and only 7 weeks to go before she arrivesYep, a lot of work.....I think I'll just order the e-diff on my D4 - a lot easier....But I can't think of too many places where I think the e-diff would have been a must have.

Given the integrated nature of the whole terrain response system I wonder what negative side affects you would achieve by tricking the trs into beliving that both back wheels are turning at the same speed? Thinking here activiation of the centre diff lock and perhaps something when the steering wheel is turned which would cause the system to expect the back wheels to turn at different speeds and thus triggering some sort of unwanted intervention.
