Need a locker bypass...not that I'm smart enough to make one...but I'm sure someone here is. By the way...will void the hell out of your warranty if the dealer catches on.

What he said. From the factory the lockers only work in 4-Lo.

Looks like the resistance changed for the diode on the '10 and up PW. Do some searching - I'm sure it's been done by now. I built mine as a hard wired system, and frankly wish I hadn't. Since the throttle is remaped to the low range parameters, the truck does weird things in high range - lots of throttle lag until it hits really hard.
I'm just along for the ride...

Off warranty a long time ago, This doesnt sound easy. I was thinking it would just be a program change. The dealerships around here are no help.
Will keep digging

The resistance value is the same up through the early 2012's. Trucks built after January 2012 have a Borg Warner transfer case and different resistance values.

Ram changed the 4x4 lo resistance to 60 ohms for the later 2012 models. If you look around on DT there are some threads about it.
