Thanks! Now if they will just migrate it across to the Lariat models life will be good.

It could be easier then that, the raptor can lock in the diff in 2wd mode.

Might be as easy as putting a Raptor 4WD switch in

9.75"... The same size as a Dana 60. The front diff I believe is an 8.8", though I could be wrong... I know that is what they put in the 97-03's.

Just wanted to clarify that Ford was not the first to use an E-locker in their half-tons. Nissan and Toyota have offered it (and still do) in their half-tons long before Ford did.

Would have been nice info to know when I purchased the truck... But ordered in back in December 08. Got it in Feb 09. Plus, at the time, my dealer said you could 100% turn it off if you wanted... guess he didnt know his *****.
