Tacoma Locking Differential(E -Locker) Actuator, Part# 41450-35010

No sticker's custom paint. how can i find out what it really is.i got screwed i know that already was sold the truck from a dealer in Sacramento was told it had70 thousand miles found out a month later it had 170 thousand with different cluster put in new dash tranny went out in two weeks they fixed that somewhat. later went to trade it in and was brought the real car fax saying it has been in several accidents got a lawyer and can't do anything about it

 

Look up the vin, or check the 4wd controller behind the glove box. Sticker is red for e locker, blue for non. If you want to swap an e locker, You can modify the housing of an lsd. Sounds time consuming. I would swap a full axle if I were you (I say this because that is what I did). But make sure you have the right 4wd controller first.

 

Behind the glove box? help me out a lil the center of the dash? I'm lost

 

All 2nd gens have the wiring.

 

Sorry but this is false about modifying the axle housing, that only applies to the older axles. The newer non elocker axles with the 8" ring gear have a totally different housing and bolt pattern that cannot be easily notched to accept the actuator.

Good advice about the VIN and 4wd ECU though.

 

Take the glove box out, it's one bolt. Then look up and you will find a black box. The elocker trucks have a red sticker, non e locker has blue sticker

 

He has an '06

 

T

ake out the glove box, stick your head there and look up!

 

Still false info you gave

To put this to bed, your advice only applies to 2004 and older

 

So what years can and can't you swap e locker thirds?

 

If you have the e locker housing you might be able to just buy the 3rd/ 2 longer studs

 

this is correct. Those housings after 2005 are exclusive to the TRD Offroad trucks however. Seeing that he says he has a frankentruck that's been in multiple crashes anything is possible until we see pics of his rear end lol

 

I think second gens can do e locker swap with some mods. I haven't personally done it so just from reading

 

Sorry but still wrong. Only way is to swap the entire axle housing. You CAN modify the housing but that's fab work so so expensive and involved that cost kills benefit. Much cheaper to go ARB or swap entire axle

 

I don't think you have done your research. It's not so much "fab" work. Just grinding to make space. Obviously if you're going to pay someone to do either of these your better off just going arb. Do it yourself or don't do it.
