3rd Gen Retro Locker Kit - 2022 value?

I have not been on the forums for some time since my 3rd gen was taken away by the rust demons.

I purchased an OEM rear locker, along with a wiring harness, the ECU and switch to retrofit my truck and i never installed it and now it just sits. I also purchased the matching front diff to match the gearing.

I had the housing blasted and PC'd, painted the pumpkin, and now everything just sits in the garage. What is the going rate for a full retrofit setup?

No mention of a front diff, so you're almost certainly going to need to find a 4.30 front diff to go with it. Unless it's a (relatively) rare 4.10 locker.
 
2019 I gave $700 for a complete rear locker axle control arms swaybar computer pieces of harness.
2009 front diff IIRC $250 or so, neither needed rebuilding but they got it with gear change installed 2020.
 
I agree, words are hard!!!

I had a 2000, auto trans. IIRC those came with 4.30. So the one that I picked up had the 4.10, hence needing to pick up a front diff.

I have:
- A housing with NO internals that has been blasted and powdercoated.
- A Locker pumpkin (4.10) with (at the time) verified working actuator
- literally a the whole wiring harness, so somewhere in it is the wiring needed to retrofit it from the computer to the locker
- locker button
- locker ECU (or whatever it is)
- front diff with matching 4.10 gear ratio

So in a nutshell its everything needed minus your own axles.

I am in similar straights as several years ago I had a 4.88 front diff & e-locker rear 3rd member built up, purchased a locker axle housing, ECU, dash switch & 82127-35100 diff harness. It all remains in my basemen, NFS.

What I was unable to find - had ordered from Amayama; which, after the fact, they cancelled and refunded, was the intermediate "frame" harness that connects to the cabin harness behind the driver's seat, passes through the floor, and plugs into the 82127-35100 diff harness. It's called "82164-35740 Wire, Frame" and is apparently a junkyard-only item now.

Further, in my case (99 Auto 4WD SR5), I found the mating connector in the cabin had fewer pins, requiring addl. conductors run from the ECU/Dash. I purchased the higher pin count M/F connectors, M/F pins, and had planned on, running the missing discrete conductors, re-pinning the cabin connector and, making my own mating intermediate harness. Three years later, I still haven't.

When I was looking 3yo, locking 3rd members in good shape were around $600 +/-. I'd think a $1200-$1500 value for your component package would be on target.
