locking rear diff

[dtvguy]

is it possible or should i say feasible to put the locking rear diff on a truck that did not have it from the factory?

You need to buy the whole axle from the dealer. It's BIG money. I think I read on here that someone said close to 3200.

You can buy the locking rear diffs or i should say a locker and add it too your axle you have now... You just have to find a company that makes it for your truck

[GeekOnAmission]

well, if you buy a factory one mabye, but it is under a grand to put an arb one in your axle

[dtvguy]

WOW 3200, it would definitely have to be aftermarket. the aftermarket lockers are probably better any way.?.?

[muddyinva]

yes the aftermarket lockers are prob a lil better and id say much more durable... But its all about what you want and waht you'll use it for

[dtvguy]

probably not what it is intended for. it would probably be overkill.

[muddyinva]

yes but you can get E-dif's (electronic) air (requires at least a small air compressor or a mechanical..... the mechanical is the only one you cant turn on and off when you want to so it would only be overkill if you turned it on for no reason

dtvguy I'm not sure what rear you have because you have no truck description anywhere. If you want to use the factory Nismo locker you can add it for aroung $1200. That seems to be the avarage price for a used one. As for the c200 rear I have been in contact with ARB about one for my truck. I have to pull an axle to count the splines so we can determine if they have one or if they have to make a new one.

You should check out rearendparts.com, they have a whole slew of lockers and posi units. Im not too sure about what gear ratio and axle we have(Dana 44?) but if you search enough you will probably find one. Hope this helps.
