Disable Electronic Locker
Hi,
I recently had the differentials in my 21 5.0 F150 changed from 3.31 to 3.73.
In the process, I had an Eaton TrueTrack posi installed in the rear.
My truck was outfitted with the e-locker - so I need to figure out how to tell the truck to no longer care about the e-locker connection. Is there a way?
I know that I could put a resistor inline, but I was hoping for a cleaner, more permanent approach.
Thanks!

The cleanest and most correct approach will be to install a new drive mode switch (ATCM) without the e-locker button and to install a new TCCM for an F150 without an e-locker. The new TCCM isn't really needed as keeping your old TCCM should only result in a P187C:00 code that doesn't trigger any warning lights, but the correct TCCM will get rid of the code now that your e-locker has been deleted. Just keep in mind that a new TCCM would need to have a PMI run on it with a different VIN to make it work properly. A used TCCM might be plug and play without a PMI depending on which version you need.
I didn't do anything to my 23 and don't have any codes or lights. If I push the button with ignition on it shows a malfunction code, but just driving it with the pigtail open in diff doesn't seem to bother it at all. I don't remember what the exact wording is but the dealer can see an in failure note for it and the air dam when they have their computer hooked up Jim
