TRP Off Road E-Locker

It pretty much states to be in 4lo on page 253 of the manual. “Stop truck, shift to 4lo to see if this is sufficient, if not then ADDITIONALLY Use diff lock” seems pretty easy to read to me

 

Please read page 254 and report back.

 

Hey, Everyone wanted to get technical, What the manual says it what is says and no where does it say that you must be in 4L to engage. It says a bunch of other stuff but not that one instruction. It dances around it, it never says you can't engage in 2wd, it just says TRY 4L first. Oh, it also says it will disengage if SWITCHED OUT OF 4L to 4H or 2wd, much different than not being able to use the locker in 2wd mode.

 

These damn instructions aren’t clear enough now-a-days.

 

Ok, went and tried it, fucking thing is only usable in 4L. blinks red in every other combo.

Why not just state that in the manual?

Step 1: engage 4L

The manual should not be throwing out suggestions. I know the locker is last resort and can damage shit quickly so why not be direct with it.

So all you manual readers can well........ you know

 

and since Toyota is using trickery and deception to not less us use our truck to it’s full potential with this locker sintution is it time for a class action lawsuit?

 

Maybe we are reading it differently but “use in addition to 4LO” and “ will disengage if knob is moved to 2H or 4H position” seems pretty clear it to me.

 

Ain't nobody go time for that. To busy writing Toyota and applying for a technical writing position.

 

No, everything worked fine before re-gearing. I swapped out the bearing on the mag switch side, but other than that it was a straight forward re-gear. Now I have a permanent rear locker.

 

This thread should be erased from this site, so much misinformation lol.

I have a 4WD, and it flashes red on the dash in 2WD or 4H

 

I did the re-gear in house. Pretty simple procedure.

 

I don't know if it's the same on third gens, but on second gens you have to "lock" and "unlock" the diff by hand when you're removing and installing the third member. During reinstallation of the locker actuator, you're supposed to move the diff to "unlocked".

I am purely guessing here, maybe you didn't do that and left it locked. Finished up installation and now your shit is all confused because it's out of sync.
