Does anyone know if the 09 Adventure Package with the factory front and rear e lockers have a cast iron front diff or is it the aluminum housing? Also is there a diy bypass thread out there to use your lockers in hi range? I remember someone talking about adding a resister allows them to engage in hi loc. Anyone do this now? ... thank you for your time.......

If It came with a locker from the factory it will be a CI Diff
If you want to a rear locker in 4Hi you wire it up just the same as a aftermerket light then add a resistor to the OEM wires to trick the computer that it is still hooked up.... the second the wires are disconected the comp knows and says "Service 4 wheel drive"

(Just swap out both lights in this diagram for the rear locker)

Superbuickguy used the following for a resistor

"The resistor is a 10 kohm 1/4 watt carbon-film resistor
specifically,
1st band - red
2nd band - blue
3rd band - orange
4th band - gold"
