[QUOTE="bet on black, post: 1298264, member: 29677"] glad to see i'm not alone. yes you can wire it to stay on full time, it just needs 12v. the factory setup steps down to 5v after a short time to hold it, but for short bursts, it's likely not necessary to step it down. one guy bench tested an OEM locker setup, and left it powered up with 12v for 30 days striaght, and it did not burn up i did that in my 4x4 van when i swapped in axles from a 2013 f350, with the e-locker in the rear, but the van is heavy enough, its harder to break the one tire loose. i don't want to drive on wet pavement with it fully locked all the time like a spool. that's a recipe for a mess, and will definitely break the tires loose on every corner. like i stated above, i don't want a locked rear (i.e. a spool) for street driving. i want something like a friction based limited slip, a locker like the Detroit setup, or a gear style like the torsen or truetrack. not trying to slip off the road, but also not trying to spin the one tire at every stoplight in the rain, and it rains a lot here. hell, its raining right now...and has been on and off for days. in my experience, the stock TC doesn't act like limited slip. instead, it pulls so much power that the truck falls on its face, and won't let you drive through the spinning wheels and pedal it for traction. i want something that will automatically engage the second rear wheel when the one loses traction.
