Rear axle with locker factory (1 Viewer)

[Reshala]

I was recently offered a factory rear locking axle with everything for $1200. Am I insane to pass on this? I have spent an absurd amount of money this summer and just booked a family trip to North Cascades so intended to slow down but if this deal is crazy good I'll pull the trigger.

Well, without any idea of what MY and type of truck you have and if you need a locker for where you travel, no clue what to tell you. But, that's not an incredible price.

Thank you. Mine is a 2003. I've had to winch one time recently but otherwise the combo of tires, lift, sliders, and center locker have gotten me out of everything I've thrown at her. I just didn't want to be dumb if this was a great deal.

I would agree with @Trunk Monkey , that not really a screaming deal. It's not bad, but it's not a one of those "can't pass" deals.

I paid $400 at a junkyard for a '99 200K-mile locked axle. I suspect 700 is closer to the street price for this.

That OE locked axle has different gearing and would be more work than installing an Electromagnetic locker like Eaton/Harrop.... and the Eaton type is better.
