Locking the Rear Diff

Locking the Rear Diff
Hey there. 2006 Dodge dakota SLT 4.7L V8. I just had a question. My truck has the elctronically changing transfer case for 2WD to 4WD Hi and 4WD Lock. My truck also has an open Rear Differential. When you shift into 4WD it locks the rear diff. Is there any way to lock the rear diff without engaging 4WD? I expect there to be a wire that locks the rear diff and if there is, is there a way to splice into it and wire up a button to engage it? Main reason is for Burnouts.(Duh!) Ya I know it wears tires and all that but who doesnt love a good burnout. Im just stuck with 1 tire fire. Once again just wondering if there is a way to lock the rear diff and keep it in RWD.

Read the threads below, you can swap one in if you'd like, but it's definitely not as easy as splicing wires together.
There are tons of threads here about differentials, these are only a few.

No, there is no wire to give you a locked rear diff.
