How to install a Factory Rear Diff Locker into Your Open-Diff Pajero!

[@stevezurek7281]

That was a really good video of a ripper upgrade,looks easy to do.What a bargain mate.🇦🇺👍👍👍 I love my new cup/usb console from your store 👍👍Thanks

[@budget4x4life]

Thanks Steve I appreciate it 😊💯 definitely not a hard thing to do! Glad you're enjoying it 😊

[@noelmclean936]

Really well explained. Onya guys

[@budget4x4life]

@@noelmclean936 thanks mate much appreciated 🙌🏼

[@The94208]

Very instructing video, thank you

[@budget4x4life]

Most welcome 💯🙌🏼

Great vid, the factory rear diff locker in my 2013 NW GLXR was a key purchasing decision.

[@budget4x4life]

Can't wait to properly test it 😜😍

[@perkypat2214]

Have you used the diff lock much? Love my Pajero, but it can struggle in really steep, rutted, soft stuff. Wondering if the RDL would help with that.

[@robbiecryer]

Nice work buddy Great idea for offering help to get fitted, Thanks for sharing 👍😎

Thanks mate I appreciate it 😊💯

Awesome video I have been looking at doing this to my NT LWB, but was worried about traction control kicking in.

[@budget4x4life]

Video coming soon to see how everything behaves 💯 the locker is there for the hard slow stuff so slipping will be minimal for the rear as it's locked... should be front only. With more momentum things turn tc off 💯

[@peterstevey]

Going to be really interesting to see how the rear diff lock copes with the traction control in the rear - hopefully the diff won't be fighting against braked wheels! Holding thumbs as I want to do this to my 2008 lwb!

[@allanpower8041]

Good question. When a genuine rear diff lock is engaged, the traction control is disabled.

[@budget4x4life]

Tested and it's fine 💯 wheels turn together so doesn't trigger it as spinning. Only when one wheel stops and other spins

[@budget4x4life]

@@allanpower8041 check reply above 🙂

[@peterstevey]

@@budget4x4life Yeah thats what I thought it would do - but if both rear tires spin up quickly as if they've lost traction, over loose gravel, sand or rocks for example, I think the traction would still kick in. But you've got that fancy loom that disables traction entirely so you should be fine!

[@budget4x4life]

@peterstevey I am doing a video soon so we will see how it works and behaves in what modes. The locker will also be on just for slow crawling so slipping will be minimal. For more momentum stuff I'll rather have the tc off. But we'll see what happens 😊😜

[@jameseaves71]

Great video. I’m hoping to do the same to my 2011 RX.

[@budget4x4life]

Highly recommended 💯👍🏻

[@alwynvanderlinde9507]

Wow i can't wait to watch this. Luckily mine came with one but this will help when I chuck one in the front!

[@budget4x4life]

Yess can't wait to see what difference it makes 😍

[@brandongoberdhan6335]

So cool

[@budget4x4life]

Thanks mate 😜

[@colinbenjamim873]

Hi, is there any chance of uploading a wiring diagram of how you wired it. I'm assuming you had a relay? Great demonstration thanks! Cheers Col

[@budget4x4life]

Hey matey. Everything I did is shown in the video 🙂 no relay just a fuse en switch to air compressor 😊💯

[@javierjimenez644]

The wiring part in the video was a bit...rushed. Any way you can explain in detail how the wiring for pump was done? Just finished swaping both my diffs out for 4.9 with rear locker and I just need help with wiring as well. Thanks in advanced. love the vids!

[@budget4x4life]

@javierjimenez644 hey mate yeah we wanted to get it done 😄 Wiring goes from pump to battery and then to the switch in cab. Compressor has a positive and negative wire. Very easy to do. What did you get the 4.9 out of with locker? And what size tyres do you have🙌🏼💯

[@javierjimenez644]

​@@budget4x4life Thanks I think I can figure it out from here now! The 4.9 came out of a Gen 3 with low km, The only issue I came across was the driveshaft bolt pattern was slightly different (Gen 3 4 bolt pattern and Gen 4 6 bolt pattern) in my new diff, so I just popped the shafts off the old diff and fitted it to the new diff so no problem. I am running Falken Wildpeaks 285/70/17s

[@budget4x4life]

@javierjimenez644 nice mate! They are very tall gears, the Pajero will now get up and go without a lag. Let me know when you fixed the tailshaft issue and how the car runs afterwards. Should be able to make an adapter plate in metal for it if the holes don't line up.

[@ThePopypete]

😉😁 one Day . Now I know what I'm in for 😮 . Thanks 👋 😂

[@budget4x4life]

Haha no worries have fun 😜💯

[@davyfella]

Make sure you route the compressor inlet hose to a height above your max wading depth otherwise it could suck in water if you have the difflock engaged whilst doing a river crossing

[@budget4x4life]

Yep will do so cheers mate. Still deciding where I wanna run it. 🙂💯

[@mach1mx]

Hi, gogod job.. did you was able to connect to the dashboard ligth? there is the central diff and the read diff lock light when are active

[@budget4x4life]

Hey mate it is not installed via the ECU so no lights will come up only on the switch 🙂💯

[@TastyAzWhole]

Would you consider making a video about upgrading a car microphone? :) mine is absolutely terrible

[@budget4x4life]

Haha maybe in the future as I actually need one 🤣

[@ajcuthy1945]

You've removed the ASC button you said and replaced it with your Diif lock one. You do know that the ASC disables the power retardation side of the Traction control in all but 4Llc. As soon as you start spinning up in snow or sand your power will disappear...Maxx tract and shovel time. Believe me you do need that switch if you use high range.. I would put it back, even with the rear locked, the rear, and the front will spin and once the front spins unevenly in sand the traction control will operate and power retardation will occur. You'll likely come to a stop and hence be bogged. Many of a Pajero driver has forgotten press the ASC and had this joy. The vehicle should perform very well in low range however, with diff locked and front brake traction control in operation. Just remember the rear wheels need to have both lost traction, and spinning a little, for the loose front wheel to have the traction control apply itself. The center diff is locked is why this happens. Great vid.

[@budget4x4life]

@@ajcuthy1945 thanks mate. Still have ASC and can turn it off with the traction control mod 😜👌🏼

[@briandp9535]

Ja Meneer, dit is befok. Baie lekker boet

[@budget4x4life]

Net so 😄💯

[@astro2456]

Hi, what is that intercooler doing behind the air box side? Is it a secondary egr gas cooler or a heater core? It doesn’t look stock, could you explain it ?

[@budget4x4life]

Stock egr cooler mate 🙂

[@Pretzil43]

Hypothetically, this could lock the rear diff in 2wd for proper burnouts right?

[@budget4x4life]

Locked anytime you want 🤫😉

[@TJ.Outdoor]

Can you share how you connect the compressor. There are 2wire from compresor and 2 for sensor. Do you connect sensor or. When i connect the compressor it build pressure lock its engage and after that the compressor turn on turn of turn of interval couple of seconds

[@budget4x4life]

@@TJ.Outdoor think you connected the wrong ends. Swap the 2 tubes and see what happens

[@TJ.Outdoor]

@@budget4x4life but the diff locks. When engage or its possible to lock with other tube. Will check streamable.com/k5e9be

[@TJ.Outdoor]

@@budget4x4life they are fine. One tube its for pressure and one for vacuum. The locker work on pressure side, on vacuum wont lock at all. I check for air leak the solenoid its fine. Maybe gen3 and gen4 are different ?

[@budget4x4life]

@@TJ.Outdoor yeah not sure… we have that bit in the video where we show the compressor and which wire goes where if that helps 😬

[@vadik1001]

did u consider to put at least some filter to compressor input? i think there will be some nasty-dusty environment for sure)

[@budget4x4life]

Yep has one on 💯

[@aridiojuniorassmann757]

Hi, are the drive shafts different to a diff with locker from one without it? Thanks..(I’m from Brazil and I found one diff with locker here and want to install in my pajero, ours Pajeros here don’t came with lockers)

[@budget4x4life]

Hey mate yes the driveshafts are different I believe. That's what the sales team told me anyway...

[@alanathomas4979]

Has anyone made or done a wiring mod so that the factory setup locker can become an anytime locker? It only working in low range is annoying sometimes

[@budget4x4life]

Working on it 💯🙌🏼

[@user-sk4oz9kh7z]

Ты молодец, но почему не убрал в салон компрессор?

[@budget4x4life]

Because from standard they are down there. Shorter distance in lines means locker engages quicker too 🙂

[@iphone-uz8vc]

are they factory lsd or single spin

[@budget4x4life]

Open diff 🙈
