Running into a little issue - bought a 80 LC for the triple diff K294 looking into swapping on my k292. Can i tell by front and rear axle if its locked or unlocked? Don't want to find out after i spend so many hours doing it. (Donner is not running) And do i need to replace the entire axle to get it locked? Would someone have any insight?

Do you mean if it has lockers? Look to the passenger side of the axle/drive shaft intersections. The electric locker motor is there if so.

Yes do you have a pic how it should look? Bought the car on action vin by toyota says its locked and door sticker... but i think axle are unlocked.
Reference this thread. Look for that dingleberry on the front of the axle... or just look for the locker switch on the dash.

Finally got around to doing this after putting it off for near two years. Like many, I had experienced the "sticky" actuator, tried "exercising" them, got it to work most times, sometimes just lived without it, etc. Last month it actually got stuck in the locked position with about 200 highway...

If your really worried don't just assume the switch on the dash is connected to anything. Look on the axle like stated above
As far as if you need to replace the whole axel you don't have to but the modifications you will have to do to the non-locked axels will make you want to just swap the whole thing.
