Default Upgrading to ProRock 60s

Alright so I placed an order for ProRocks

My question, Is there a way to have the factory locker switch work for the Pro Rocks?

I just want to keep the interior as clean as possible!

Also

if the switch will not work, can I have the lockers light turn on the dash? like my factory ones do?


Thanks

I'm jealous. I want ARB lockers too, but want to stay with Dana 44s. I'm not too thrilled with my e-lockers.

Well, ARB's don't have a sensor, so your dash lights won't work. But there are switches that fit in the switch panel that you can use with the ARB's.

They are Semi float

I chose them because IMO they are the best and competition built axles.

yes they do have a big price tag.. but at then end I know i'm getting Extremely well Axles.

I also add all the options to them. the competition shafts (which is at the moment an over kill) but i'll be upgrading to 42" tires..

They do also have more clearance than all D60 axles and more than a D44

They are the Axles used in PNY2009 and those guys picked them for a reason.. Durability


It will pay it's self off

I have 37x13.50.17 Baja Claw tires mounted on walkerevens beadlocks

They are heavy

You think I could get a wire going from the factory switch to the ARB switch to light up when engaged?

I don't really know how the dash light works with the factory lockers! could it be that its wired from the axle it's self since it's an electric locker?

It shouldn't be that hard to do. You have the wires to the plunger and obviously the plunger is no longer in use. The plunger, when extended, probably completed a circuit causing the dash light to go on. You could probably hook the plunger wires to a relay such that flipping the switch to activate the lockers also activated the relay, competeing the circuit, and thereby lighting the dash light. It sound more convoluted than it is. Or perhaps you could T into the wire to the dash and put power to it and the locker at the same time. But with the CANBUS system I don't know if that would work while I'm pretty sure the other would.
