Front IFS 7.5" E-Locker and rear 8.4" E-locker

Hmmm.

 

Might have missed it somewhere, are these E lockers compatible with synthetic gear oil or does it have to be Dino oil?

 

I use lucas non synthetic 85w-140, I dont believe it matters, but it is what ecgs recommended for their gears

 

Hmmm . . .
That's a bit off from the 75-90 were supposed to run. Any potential problems with that?

 

Just worse gas mileage

 

I asked ecgs the same question, they said nope, and yeah possible worse gas mileage, but your rig looks similar to mine, are you concerned w gas mileage...i regeared to 4.56 and it is better than running stock viscosity, especially for wheeling according to ecgs

 

Yeah, MPGs are always a concern to one degree or another. Can't imagine the viscosity making a huge difference in that regard. Just seems like if Toyota puts a specific weight in, that's what we should run. On the other hand, I'm not particularly concerned with the gears when it comes to Dino vs synthetic. I was just concerned with the locker, Dino vs synthetic. Bottom line, I'm probably over thinking it.

 

Overthinking is what we do haha...i was the same and super weary about the thicker viscosity, but my gears are no longer stock toyota...Im sure synthetic or non will work...ask @Cruiser Brothers

 

I haven't been getting updates for this thread

 

Try unwatching it and then watching it again? I just got an update about you not getting an update.

 

Now that I commented I'll be getting them for a bit. I got an update about you getting an update about me not getting updates.

 

Sub for future reference

 

You know you want one

 

where you guys putting the front locker switch at and which one you went with?

 

I have both of my switches under my radio in a six hole switch plate. And I used the switch the locker came with.

 

Ok, trying to make it look more oem, got my harrop coming in next week

 

I think this is a great idea. Only thing is my truck is a daily driver as well, what is the turnaround time ?

 

ECGS had to order it so I waited about 1 month because it wasn't in stock

 

Turnaround time for what?

 

Was basically wondering how long it took to receive the parts, I guess lead time would have been a better word. Whiskey will do that sorry.
