New BD Diesel 2 Low unloc kit give away contest.

Locking hubs are the only option for an 06. The kit requires an electrically actuated central axle disconnect which the 3rd and early 4th gens don't have.

Bummer. Guess I'll have to get a new truck! (Not likely!)

Hi Hector
Did you give away 5 units already? I only saw the 3. I have a 2011 drw Longhorn. I tow a 25,000 lb. gooseneck that I haul hay and hayledge with on the farm. To be able to unlock the front when backing into barns would be a godsend. If you have given them all away, I might have to just buy one.

I don't think the central axle disconnect was part of the front diff until 2013. Without that the kit won't work. As far as I know your only option is locking hubs .

I hope this giveaway/ test is still going on, I need this kit desperately. Wright2016, 2016 3500. I tow a 16,000 lb 5th wheel trailer and a 12,000 lb dump trailer weekly and I am always looking for a lower gear backing up. This would work perfectly.

The giveaway as you call it was for volunteers to evaluate the product and then post a report on our installation and its operation. If I was desperate for something I certainly wouldn't let money stand in my way. I'm sure Hector will be happy to sell you one.
