Re: Rear Locker
Here's the part # 5175302AB
Steve White Motors shows one in stock. You would need to confirm with them, everyone else shows discontinued.
Here's a complete used rear axle assembly on Ebay.
I can build a bypass system that will completely replace all of the rest of the electrical and still use the factory switch to control the lockers.

Re: Rear Locker
In parts for sale recently Redman sold his wrecked 2005 for parts & before sale had noted the front & rear axles were good,,,might be able to find out who bought it & see if they’d be willing to sell that part assuming it wasn’t damaged. But can’t go wrong w “Retired’s “ Able products. He knows our wagons & these issues very well & won’t steer you wrong. Good luck!
