Could a 98-99 rear 3rd member with factory locker be installed in a 00-02 model to have matching gears, a-trac and a rear locker?

I think the housings are slightly different to accommodate A-TRAC. The inner shafts of the 98-99 differ slightly as well due to actuator for the locker. You would then have to incorporate the brain of VSC and A-TRAC into the front and rear diffs.
Nice write up though one error. On 100-series vehicles A-TRAC does NOT control throttle. It only operates using the braking system. ONLY VSC intervenes the engine throttle/output.
I can see how someone who is unfamiliar with how the system works could do some damage with the skinny peddle trying to get it to engage.
I'm on my phone right now. can you tell me where that is? It needs to be changed and I'm not quite sure how it got in there.
Since the system can only control two wheels at a time, a slick hill climb can only be conquered if you air down, a-trac can be defeated easily in the right conditions. Mud is one of those conditions, even with all my knowledge about a-trac...mud is the biggest problem this is my approach to a muddy hill climb where a slow and reasonable get thrown out the window...
