Call Yukon Gear. Ask them. They made this part specificly to fit our jeeps with the 1/2" ring gear bolts. Don't give up right here. I had truetracs installed front and rear of my 12 with no problem other than drilling out the case.
To the OP did you have to have the locker drilled to match your 1/2" ring gear bolts?

Just out of curiousity what exactly is the issue? Is the unexpected locking and locking of the new differential confusing the abs and therefore putting it into limp mode?

I did some checking and found that the new 12 auto trans computer is a bit more complex than previous models. While driving it monitors yaw, pitch, acceleration, vehicle speed, wheel speed etc. A Detroit Locker is always locked until traction on a corner allows the outside tire to unlock. When equal axle speed is achieved after the corner, the unit once again locks. It is suspected that the lock/unlock motion of the locker is tripping the computer. The ProCal is not able to compensate.
