Source For E-locker Actuators?

[Stockwell45]

So my E-locker actuator finally gave up on life. I've been having problems with it for over a year, and constantly have to take it apart and get it to work again. Now it is completely fried. Anyone have any ideas on where to get another, without buying a whole E-locked 3rd? Pick n Pulls around here probably wouldn't have any either.

Those things are pretty hard to come by on their own, Matt.

I've always got my eyes open looking for one selling at a decent price so I can grab it for a spare.

I've been looking for trashed elocker 3rds selling whole w/the actuator. I figure if I could pick one up for ~150ish it would be worth it to keep the actuator and use the diff as a core should I ever choose to regear through ECGS.

Check with Toyota shops/dealerships in your area and see if they've got any damaged diffs for sale on the cheap... I know my mechanic likes to keep major parts like that when he pulls them in case he needs small items off of them for future jobs.

Well since you asked so nicely I can tell you where to get one. I just happen to know someone who has one if you can get it from her some how. She lost her 4Runner in a accident and there are parts that I'm sure she would be happy to give to a good home if she can get them off for you. PM [MENTION=99834]rn_trauma903[/MENTION].

Thanks Nick, I figured you always had your eye out for some. I was about to send you a PM about it. I'll check around my local auto shops. The problem is there really isn't a ton of 3rd gens up here, kinda weird.

That is awesome, thanks for the link! I've always wanted to do a cable conversion, I just didn't know they were so pricey :ybrick:
