Yeah, looks like the one I used. Post up if you have any more questions. I may have put more details in the cheap/free mod thread in my sig. Took some experimenting on my part to get the right ends of the wires. Let me know! I can take some more pics if needed.

only problem is i can tell the differences in the two banks, but the order for example a, a1, and a2. and what goes into the coil. is the part that getting me. i just want to be sure so i dont mess anything up, of fry anything. if you can help on the order it would help alot.
thanks

What kinds of speeds are allowed with this mod. I understand off road, snow, ect. Just don't know if sustained higher speeds is recommended?

Use good judgment. There is no physical limit that will shut it off. But if you're running 80mph down the highway, do you really need the locker on? Or ABS disabled (because it's turned off when the locker is engaged)? It's just like a posi or solid rear axle. You can powerslide easily whether you want too or not. I've used it to slide around in mud, but I wasn't going mroe than 30mph if that. Snow is another matter. If you're off on a trail or in a field that's fine. If you're on a road where the back end kicking out can hit a car, slide off the road, hit a guard rail, etc then you need to be careful about it. It'll build up heat and stress on the tires, axles, gears, etc if you use it on anything other than a straight line. Toyota designed it to get you out of a situation where 1 rear tire is off the ground. Not run around 24x7 locked. So just keep that in mind.

The banks are identical. Two pins are for the coils (guessing the 2 rotated 90*), 12v and ground toggle both sides at the same time. Then each side has an input and 2 outputs to switch between. Look at the top of the relay for that schematic, and match it with the images in this or the cheap/free thread.

You should be able to match it with this diagram: http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...up_Page_1b.png

A and B are the 2 inputs, A1/A2/B1/B2 are the outputs that are switched.

That relay should be setup identically to the middle relay in the diagram above. Does that help?

Here is another option...

piercedtiger · 04-05-2008, 05:42 PM

Last I heard, people still had issues with that one. Are they worked out now?

TN is down yet again so I can't read for new posts....

dbbd1 · 04-05-2008, 05:43 PM

The couple of issues I knew about were from incorrect modding. What have you heard?

Chester · 04-06-2008, 01:24 AM

It works great not one problem.Had a detroit in my 91 yota,I know when I need it! Best mod for the money and time, 10 bucks and a half hour.

Just one of the first people to do it had issues with 4wd or something... It was a while back since I stopped watching the thread. Looks like TN is finally back up so maybe I'll read through to see what the problem was.

Yeah, I was thinking about Fortech's post:

Quote:

Did this mod today, and just finished testing. Here are some observations with my 2005 TRD Off Road 4x4 Access Cab:

1. Truck threw a check engine light. Shutting off the truck and restarting doesn't clear the light, even with our new "safety switch" in the off position.

2. Locker will only engage at 5mph and below. Above 5mph the locker light will blink, ABS doesn't illuminate.

3. If you have the rear end locked in 2wd and switch to 4H, the orange "4Lo" light blinks. Returning the dial to 2wd does nothing. To switch back to 2wd you have to unlock, then return the "safety switch" to off, then the truck will return to 2wd.

4. If you are driving in 4H and lock the rear end, everything works great - until you try and switch back to 2wd while still locked. Same result as #3 above.

I didn't try to switch to 4lo. I'm not sold on this method of the locker mod just yet.

But I guess it sorted itself out... I unsubscribed at one point so I wouldn't be reading grumpyoldman's crap.

sapper mp 03 · 04-23-2008, 07:08 PM

i tryed this mod and now i have the abs,locker, and both 4wd lights on. i took the relay back off and wire it back together but still have the lights on. does someone have a idea what i did wrong. i know its in 2wd not 4wd like its said. i have unpluged the computer and the lights go off, but when i plug it back in the light come on again. any one have a clue whats wrong. i dont think i mess the 4wd ecu up or is it possable i did.
thanks

sapper mp 03 · 04-23-2008, 07:41 PM

never mind it was just a stupid fuse blown. after about 3 hour redoing it all. its always the last thing you check.

piercedtiger · 04-24-2008, 06:51 AM

Redid all the wiring, then checked the fuses... d'oh!
