What does "ected" mean? Is that electric like the ARB's I sure hope so I have work in the northwoods of wisconsin in 05 and need to get this pig locked up or I will never get through to the job site.

bigtruck311 thanks for the info, that looks like it would do the trick. I have heard good things about auburn gears in the past. I wont be hard off roading but it will have to tow heavy equipement and go through deep snow. Has any one had a electronic locker in the deep snow and cold? I know you have to drill a hole in the diff to get the wire in and my concern is that wire will get packed full of snow/ice causing a failure.
