    on the 4x4's you can only lock the rear diff if its in 4lo from the factory, but if you cut the grey wire on the 4x4 computer box and ground it, it allows you to do it in 2wd 4hi and 4lo. i dont know if the 2nd gens can be done or not.

    2nd Gens can, but it consists of cutting around 6 wires and putting them through a relay. the ECU behind the glove box. Works great i did it and had no issues. boy was i worried though. followed the pics and directions from the thread and it was really "Barney Style". anyone can do it.
