I think Derek Drew <derekdrew@RCN.COM> was sourcing the
differential lock bits at one point.

Thanks,
Chris

>thanks for the replies regarding the locking diff in the
2wd. Lots of people interested, but it doesn't look like
anyones done it. Darrell at AA says he'll do it for $500 over
the price of a rebuild; Weddle is something like $400, but
their rebuild is 1200. In either case, you have to buy the
locker servo and all the other stuff seperately.

what other parts I'll need? I looked in the Bentley, it was
kinda vague. I'm assuming It's a vacuum lock, meaning I'll
have to run vacuum lines from the engine to the tranny and
back. Do I need a vacuum tank, too? And then some kind of
servo to control the vacuum, with associated electrics
running up to the dash and back? I've never seen one on a
van, so the more details the better. thanks again.
