    Has anyone published what it would take to allow us to lock up in 2 wheel or 4hi?

    I tried searching but didn't turn any results.

    I don't think anyone has successfully "hacked" the 3rd gen yet to run it in 2wd or 4hi.

    It's an e-locker...unless there is more than "on/off" functionality built into the actual locker - i.e. a microcontroller of some sort, then you should technically just have to supply the proper voltages over the wires....should be easy. You would just be bypassing everything else and would probably not get the indicator light, etc. And then if the truck doesn't know it's on, traction control could go haywire and screw something up I suppose.

    I'm more so curious for a hack on the MTS. so I can use that in 4hi.
    The snow/mud setting would be great for the winter driving here. 4hi was fine last winter and probably will do fine, but still would be cool to use mts in 4hi as well.

    Even on trails I don't alwas need 4lo.
