Personally, if I had a SFA truck, I'd take full advantage of it and would be putting a set of selectable lockers in BOTH pumpkins...

If this truck sees off pavement maybe once or twice a year I doubt anyone could justify dropping thousands on lockers.

Oh well then lockers will be something you will want then if you offroad. Lockers essentially connect both axles together to offer the most traction. Imagine an LSD that has both tires turning constantly. A selectable locker will lock both axles together at the flip of a switch provided that it is a selectable locker. This is something that you will want to do while you have your gears upgraded. Also keep in mind that lockers are pretty damn pricey adding to the fact we are from the great white north where some stuff is way more expensive so keep that in mind man.

That is the tranfercase. That mean thats the front output= rear output. Hence being locked.

watch and learn man.

well:
A. That video was awesome lol.
B. I wold love to put that on my truck and I am sure it would come in handy in Northwestern Ontario. (That's where I live)
C. Gonna research prices lol. Bet it's alot tho eh?

Did a little research... Looks like they would be around the 1000 mark and then +install
If I went this route... This would be instead of the Auburn LSD or the DTT right? That's what I'm getting from it at least... Hope I'm not wrong lol.
Where would I be able to get these lockers from? I have only found these ARB Lockers so far.
Then again, not sure if I will hit tuff enough terrain in a mega cab to justify these lol...

K I just talked to The guy at the parts counter. He said it has an "anti-slip" differential. So that would be the top end of the two right? He said the other would be a posi differential... But I don't have that... Hopefully I understood that correctly lol. He looked it up so .. I hope I didn't misunderstand... Lol
