Default Lunchbox Locker?

I didn't notice my truck came with a open diff....Why would anyone put a open diff in a 4x4 is beyond me, I'm just irritated I didn't notice it. So to the question, anyone know of a lunchbox locker for the 15's? Thanks.

i have a locking diff that I used exactly never, except to test it. and it didnt seem to work that great at that either.
but, I NEED a 4x4 truck 6 months of the year, so there you have it, I would have been perfectly happy with 4x4 and no locking diff.

In my opinion lockers are like sex and money. Life is better with both

Not sure whats available aftermarket but what about finding an e-locker diff in the scrap yard. Not sure what kind of programming you would need to do. That in mind, I wonder how the computer will react to the lunch box. Will the traction control play nice.

PS: From what I hear the traction control will do a decent job of putting power to the wheel with traction.

Its done a terrible job so far. I don't want to have to re-setup the gears so thats why I want to go with a lunchbox style locker.

Have you used lunch box lockers before?
I have used a couple and can't stand them. All the Clanking and popping just to save a little money.
