Replace factory elocker with LSD?

Anyone know of a limited slip differential replacement for the factory elocker? I've literally never use the factory elocker, and I'm considering twin turbo'ing the truck (OVtune). An LSD would be infinitely more useful for what I use the truck for. Without any hopes of a "grey wire mod" for a third gen, if I'm going to replace the factory elocker with something, I would just as soon do an LSD over a locker replacement.

But, I'm having a hard time finding one. Anyone done this, or know of a replacement?

 

I think the 2WD Sport models get an Auto LSD rear axle.

Edit: Actually nvm. I don't think it's a true LSD, only brake actuated.

 

At far as i know, all 4wd trim packages come with a simulated lsd when in 4hi

 

Nope, pretty sure you're gonna have to do an axle swap. Maybe eventually something comes, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

Correct. Even the OR and Pro models have it.

 

Auto LSD is a joke, hoping for an actual LSD.

That's what I was afraid of...
Are there any replacement locker solutions? At least I could actuate it whenever I wanted to, instead of being bound by 4lo.

 

Get a Torsen LSD like in the Toyota 86.

 

A mechanical LSD hasn't been available in a Tacoma since around 2008 or 2009, maybe you can do an entire axle assembly swap.

If the OP has a factory locker then it's an 8.75`.

 

weld that bitch

 

or get a trutrac

 

Yessir. Options appear to be non-existent.
An axle swap sounds incredibly unappealing.

 

What about this? Very little info, says for 2016 and up Toyota 8.75"

Or is that just a direct factory replacement, leaving me in the same spot...

 

Looks like ARB makes air-lockers, would prefer to stick with an electronic

F it. If you’re going for it, swap in AWD setup form a 4 runner , LC or what have you. Full time 4wd seems better for traction vs rear wheel LSD traction on a pick up with no weight over the rear tires anyways.

Haven’t you ever been to the drag strip with your buddies propane injected twin turbo Cummins ? He pops it in 4wd so he can go forward

 

Locker is a simple 2 wire 12vdc. You could bypass all the safeties and direct wire it.

 

If you really want to manually actuate it, my best suggestion.

There aint nothing simple about doing that on these trucks.

 

Is find a hot rod shop. They could fab a Ford 9”, any ratio, width, mounts, angles and your choice of a dozen plus LSDs or lockers

economies of scale, Ford 9” is probably cheaper than any customs O/R adaptation.
