How do you lock the rear diff?

I bought my Prerunner used and it didn't have a manual. I searched for this answer but it's not coming up.

How do I lock my rear diff? Is it the button under the steering column that kind of looks like " (_!_) " ? If not, what is this button for?

Thanks!

 

that butt button is to reset the tire pressure monitor system.

 

I think it also resets the req'd maint. light.

 

yep..... look at that pic. If you have that button to the left of the steering wheel, then theres your answer. If theres no button, then you dont have a locker unfortunately.

 

You're right jhodge. I dunno what I was thinkin.

 

I think you put this on the rear diff.

 

you cold haha

well said sir

 

Just curious, what are the limitations on pushing that button? Below 5mph only or in Neutral? Will it stay locked if you accelerate past 5mph to saaaay 60 on the sand? Can I unlock it at speed?

 

yes you can unlock it at any speed. I use mine on the drag strip and have no problem unlocking it at 90mph.

 

just don't be spinning the tires when you go to lock it

 

BS
you trap 76 mph

haha jk man
