All your answers here, including how to buy a premade harness:

FOR SALE - [MPS] Overide M226 e-Locker - PBR

FOR THE WIRING MOD..... You will need to access the Wiring Harness at the Differential Lock Control Unit (DLCU). It may be easier to do this by removing the Driver-side Door Seal and the Knee Knocker Panel under the Steering Column. Perform the changes on This Schematic. Due to new security...

You shouldn't even be asking that question. Lockers are used for getting out of or over a sticky situation, or pre engaging it to stay away from any issues.

What that means is if you're going any faster that 5-10 mph you sure as hell don't need to have your locker engaged.

Yes you're right im just checking whats the safe speed before any harm to the diff but you already answered my question 5 -10mph thanks

 

[early 2010]

Back in '08 I had a 2WD NISMO Frontier. 2WD with a factory locker. To engage it you had to be going slow, under 5MPH or something like that. Once it was locked you could run it all the way up to the 112 MPH speed limiter. Nothing modified, 100% factory. That was back in the day when stability control and side air bags were still optional and not standard.

Hey J

The issue isnt as much of ground speed, I've locked up going down the road at 25mph approaching a sand wash / crossing, straight line on a dirt road, very little differential speed between the two rear wheels. If you hit that switch with one tire stationary and one tire turning at 10mph, you are liable to break something. Differential speed between the two axles is the killer here. Not to say under the right conditions that enough torsional stress wont break something, the M226 has Dana 60 axles down splined into a smaller carrier, there is a weak point somewhere. I advise people that do the locker mod to be at low speed or at low power settings when they lock up in order to reduce the amount of shock going across the internals when the axle locks up.

Hi @rm975,

I too seem to be unable to figure out how to PM you directly. I have an '07 6MT OR, and am wondering if you still have any of these locker modules for sale? Would very much like to buy one from you if possible, please!

Thank you in advance!
