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

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. > >Can anyone explain to me how the locking servo works, and 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. > > Jeff >Bisbee, AZ
