Help!!! Differential Questions: Gears, Lockers, and Diff covers Front and Rear!

[ISFast]

I put a handful of those Trd supercharges on tacomas and I was never impressed with the results. Huge waste of money. With him running stock tires i think you'd beat him.

Well hopefully we find out sooner than later! I'm with you thought the TRD S/C seemed to leave a lot on the table compared to others. What he doesn't know is i'm going to bring my old 35s just incase the 37s don't cut it haha..... All I hope is they hook up and not hop.

Lol nice. The tundra blowers got after it but the Tacomas are a joke.

Has anyone done a rear diff gear swap on a '13?

Has anyone bypassed all the electronic BS and wired their locking diff to an up-fitter switch?

I am considering but have one question....

Does anyone know if our locking diffs require an exact amount of voltage/current to actuate the mechanism?

In other words, do our locking diffs require a certain mount of power to lock it in or does it just take 12v from the battery?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I would like the ability to lock the diff in when ever I wanted...

JDUB, this is a discussion I had on Skyl3r's build thread.
I'm very interested, I hope someone's going to try it.
It's only a two wire connection, and truck doesn't even need to be running to engage the locker.
Found that last week when I did the driveshaft upgrade.

You should make a new thread for that question!!!
Maybe someone did this already, who knows.

Ok so for an update to the 5.13s put in with the 37 tires....


Got a chance to run a eco boost Screw FX4 F-150 that is running raptor OEM tires, leveling kit maybe minor lift, tuner by 5star, intake, 4.10 gears, and an exhaust cutout as well. This is my buddies truck and really wanted a raptor but couldn't get him talked into it.

So for my truck to make it fair: Scab, no aftermarket intake just a K&N drop in filter, exhaust cutout, 5star tune, 5.13s, 37 Nitto Mud grapplers on DS methods (122+ lbs per), and a 80 lbs front bumper with boatecs on top perch.

Now this is a closed road just FYI for people who want to preach:

Did a single run from a dead stop to 80+ mph.... Looked down after we let off and it was 85 at that time. Both trucks had the A/C on and a single window down, Both tunes at 87 performance, all nannies on with 2wd open rear only, tanks roughly same amount as far as Gallons in the tanks.

So here is how it went:
When we both came off the line mine was almost a full truck a head. His front bumper was almost to my rear bumper. At 40 mph we were almost dead even and by the time we hit 80-90 ish He was about his truck length a head and now my front bumper was even with his rear axle.

Just wanted to inform people about how a couple mods and different strokes for people do. He had lighter tires, intake, no bumper, and not as high or wide as my raptor. I had a shorter cab and lower gears.

Was he surprised.... SHIT he was PISSed his EB didn't just chew me up especially with the 37s. This is a pretty good test of how a set of gears really gets these monsters moving.

THIS IS KID STUFF.
Really? This is why you bought a truck? A 4x4? A Raptor?
TO DRAG RACE?
Shit.

I don't think this is kid stuff, if your trying to get your Raptor to feel like a TT, these are things that need to be done.

La-la land. That adolescent trophy truck idiocy is how Raptors get bent and ruined. There must be scores of vids on Youtube that absolutely document that when a Raptor is driven like a trophy truck it gets broken and the people inside get hurt.

This truck is a cool truck, it has capabilities that exceed those of other factory trucks. That's a given. But it IS a factory truck, it comes off the very same assembly line as every other F150, and it cannot ever be the equal of a trophy truck.

Do you doubt? Fine. Make sure your life insurance is paid up and your medical insurance is current, and for the love of God don't put anyone else in the truck with you when it is your purpose to drive it like a 16 year old.
