Locking differential into a non-locking W124

My rear Diff is howling. I tried draining and running synthetic, still loud. I'm looking for a used one. My junkie found a locking Diff for $350.00. My car doesn't have ASR or ASD. Can I use a diff that has the option and not hook up the electronics?

BTW it's for my 92' 300D

It should work. My 92 has the ASD option. It appears all the electronics are in the engine bay. There is a hydraulic line that runs from the engine bay to the differential. You would need to plug this hole in the diff. Somehow the hyd fluid and gear oil are kept separate inside the diff.

YOU would need the donar car & then BUY a very $$$ PUMP to supply the fluid for that system...NOT a good idea...look for a used diff from a 16V 190E if you want limited slip.

In the USA the 16V 190E was only around for 2 years...1986-87, all of them had LSD.

What's the final drive ratio for the 16v LSD?

Would it technically be possible to convert a TD with its existing tandem pump to also operate an ASD differential?
