    Can somebody explain how the front diff actuator works on 2005-on Tacomas? Are they electrically actuated or by vacumm hose? All schematics I have seen show an electrical motor as the one that moves the fork but the name of that unit says "vacumm actuator" and it actually has a hose conected to the unit.

    To clarify, the actuator is electric but the actual locking (ADD) is done with vacuum.
