I recently purchased a 2004 tundra double cab Sr5 with a limited slip differential option. I was reading the owners manual on how to activate the system. From the owners manual, I see a push button switch but I could not find this button in my truck. Why is that?

Limited slip differential is always engaged...If one wheel spins the system transfers power to the other wheel for improved traction. The only push button I know of is at the end of the shifting knob...pushing the button on the end of this knob takes the vehicle in and out of over- drive.

you might be confusing the limited slip with the full locking differential which would have a switch to the left of the steering wheel, similar to tacomas. i don't know if the tundras come with that option or not. mine has the limited slip, but my tacoma had the locking.

All of the answers thus far have been correct. However, Tundras do not come with a locking differential. What option they now have is a traction control differential. You may switch this on and off allowing you to disengage the traction control. Toyota has set it up where you have to either pay for the limited slip axle for around 200 bucks or the traction control differential in the tune of 1000 bucks. Unless you drive like a woman "and i'm sure you don't" you chose the right one! AND you would have hated the traction control...

Cook is correct. Our truck, which is a 2005 Tundra, comes with traction control which engages its self when one of the wheels is in stress. It also helps in the rode so you have a less chance of going off it.
