Factory E-locker computer color question

[bryan89]

did a search, but nothing i wanted showed up
Quick question:
Why in many of the elocker threads that i read do some toyota factory locker computers have a green case, where others have a black case? is there any difference internally? are they swapable?

the only thing i can think of is the tacoma's have the black computer and the 4runners have the green?
if thats true, is everything else inside the same?
just want to know cause i am getting ready to add the elocker to my 88 4runner and want to know if one is easier to wire than the other.

thanks

.....okay
that basically kills my tacomas are black and 4runners are green theory

well, i did some close up looking at photos of them
the green one is 89533-35090 and according to toyota parts zone online fits only 96-98 4runners with auto trans and v6.

the black one is 89533-35070 and fits 96-2000 4 cylinder and v6, manual and auto 4runners.

edit: also 89533-35060 exists. (pretty sure this is a black one). its from the tacoma. years 96-2000, 4cyl and 6 cyl. manual and auto trans vehicles
edit2: 89533-35050 is also for tacoma. 1995-1997 tacoma. 6cylinder engine only. manual and auto trucks. (color??)

whats the difference between the trucks? does it have to do with abs or something?? or atrac?


if they all do the same thing, why didnt toyota use one part number for all of them across all of the vehicles?
