Rear axle swap; open to electric locking
#1
#3
My 2013 FX2 does not have an e-locker. While truck hunting I thought that was standard on a FX model, didn't realize I was wrong until I drove nearly 4 hours to get the truck. To say I was pissed was an understatement! Anyway, I talked diligently with my 2 local Dealerships & they both advised me I could not throw another axle w/the e-locker up under it, due to wiring & programming issues
I did replace that stupid Coin-Holder (Ford puts that in place of an e-locker switch) with a Volt-Gauge

In fact a Tru-Trac & a set of 3.73's would make me very happy too

Making an e-locker work with the factory controls may be an issue because it is likely integrated with the powertrain control module and Ford probably won't tell you what needs to be done to activate it, but surely all it takes is switched power to make the diff work so if you're not adverse to installing another switch somewhere you can get the functionality and as an added bonus not be restricted to the silly speed limitations that come with the factory control system.
