Electric diff lock conversion for 4kq???

[Kurt Deschler]

Depending how the diff solenoid "died", it may be much easier to fix it in
place then to attempt changing it. The plastic on mine cracked and I just
filled the cracks with epoxy and it has worked well since. I think it
would be hard to find a reliable electric solenoid for that purpose. It
may even be bidirectional.
