People should share. I didn't search but I've been hanging around a while and I haven't seen anybody wire it and write it up.

My guess is that it will work on the '15-'16 but the wiring colors are different and they probably didn't have one to test on.

I would love to know who sells a 2.00 relay.....Our 5 pins at work are at least 50.00...

if the people responsible for buying at your work are paying $50 for a standard relay they are fools. Here you go:

and here’s the harness if you want it too:

Does you locker come loose at the big end? (Curious as to how this will help your specific application) I always assumed that it wouldn’t come loose under power. Will it disengage between shifts?

This locker will stay locked under load from my experience. It does not disengage between shifts. If it did, mine would blow the tire off as soon as it shifted to 2nd

Others have had the issue of it disengaging under WOT, usually between shifts. Im sure how much power you're sending it plays a role as well as how your truck is shifting. If that shift has any lag to it that thing can unlock

Perhaps if you ease off to get traction or get off the throttle completely for axle hop it happens?

That's the factory setup with disengagement above "x" speed when it can. I assume off throttle.

If this thing actually does what it says then it's always locked, since there's no disengage speed, until you switch it off and back out of the throttle. For drag race purposes I think that's all anyone needs isn't it? I'd like to have a truetrac but that seems like Eaton doesn't care about Super 8.8 diffs. I never hear about the e-lock diffs blowing up so maybe that's a big benefit.

For me, I have a regular, open differential so I lose in all cases and need to find a swap-in lsd.
