elocker and axle stuff

I thought there was also a cable shift alternative if you are interested . . .

Yes, Downey makes a cable shift. Hard to find reviews on it.

Looks like Sean and Bob, got me covered on the wiring. Thanks guys!!!!

Just need a few parts from NTP and I'm good to go. Pulling my thirds this weekend.

Having the e-locker will make your life much easier. I thought about the Downey deal for about 5 seconds.....if the motor was bad on the locker it may be a good idea, but otherwise I think its a bad idea.

Bump for my parts request!!!!!!!

Also, since my third that I just pulled has the ABS sensor in the top of the third member and the elocker third does not have a spot for it, what have you all done with your ABS sensor? I think this mainly applies to 2nd gens as the 3rd gens seem to have the sensor in the axle housing near the backing plates. I've read a ton of "writeups" and they all seem to leave this detail out.

Mine is zip tied to the frame rail somewhere. I need to figure out the abs light now, it's kinda annoying.

for me, if the motor ever died on the trail, i could go in and remove the actuator motor, slide the collar over with a screw driver and reinstall the motor (to keep the dirt out). not ideal but a good thing to know if you really really needed the locker and the motor went out.

Lance, thanks for moving this thread.

Since this was getting techy and due to the ABS issue, I changed the first post and this is now for tech.

What tap size do I need to get? I know it is 8mm but what is the thread pitch?
