Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

Yes you could, just make sure you get the right E-loc for the right year...04-07 are all the same...08+ are the same.

You can get a TruTrac for 04'-07' Titans, the big advantage of a TT over the factory E-loc is that the TT replaces all the spyder gears....which is the part most likely to fail....

What he said, but if your 04-07 id go with the truetrac instead of a diff swap. Those year e-locker diffs werent very strong at all. 08+id go for an e locker, but if truetrac was available id go for the truetrac. Lots of guys with the 04-07 have ditched the e-locker for the truetrac

Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

I've had the TT for several months now, I'm VERY happy with it...

Was it worth the price?.....YES!

Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

Well thats good to know, i was wondering if the TT would be worth it because 1 wheel drive is getting annoying. I dont do alot of hardcore off roading but even playing in gravel pits and light mud is tough in stock condition

If you're looking to get a full locking unit, ARB makes one for the Titan.

Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

Ya a full locking unit would be nice but it is also $900+ and only works on certian Titan rear ends and i do not believe a 4x2 is one of them.

Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

I'll have to learn more about that ARB. My 06 rear just got replaced with an 08 today. I can't imagine a 4x2 having a different rear than a 4x4. but, you never know.

Every Titan comes with the M226 rear...

Edit: Looking at the ARB website, it seems as though the locker is designed for the 2005+ models.

Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

No, it doesn't fit 08, and I know what you are really thinking. I couldn't get hold of the axle to take home and recover the TT. I have little doubt it was fine. I'll be saving pennies a long time to get me an ARB.

Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

I'm pretty sure the ARB doesnt work on the 08 axle. I'm going the E locker route

Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

I doubt honestly it should be a pretty simple swap spline count is the same. Just bolt on the rind gear set the back lash, run some wires and be done with it

Re: OEM E-Locker on 4x2 Titan

Just buy the whole axle at a Junkyard. After that, (I may be wrong) I think it is just a 2 wire hookup with a manual switch in the cab. It all bypasses the ECU.
