2008 Locker selector switch

Post by UncleYarbie » Sun Dec 18, 2022 3:24 pm

Hello all,

Been lurking around the community for a while now and just recently found my unicorn. 2008 QC G56 Power Wagon.

I'm trying to get everything fixed as far as factory items and am curious what anyone has done to fix the switch cover/layer that wears off on the switches. My locker switch, light load switch and rear locker switch are all currently clear buttons. I really like how the factory button looked and don't want to have to use aftermarket however the part is NLA and I've searched forever for it. I'm wanting to use the factory switch and Abel override.

Thanks for the help

Welcome to the forum.

Getting parts for the 3G's is getting harder to find. When I traded in my 08. Everything I had for it sold pretty quick.

I have the last new factory locker switch for a 3rd Gen (2006-2009) in existence sitting on my shelf. Considering the work I do, I figured it might be good to grab it when I saw they were going obsolete. Send me an email and I'll hook you up! AbelComponents@yahoo.com (SOLD)

I appreciate all the comments guys, I bought my truck with the intention of never getting rid of it. I couldn't sleep with myself knowing I bought a new truck and nearly 100k. I bought a 2016 2500 with a Cummins in '15 and had nothing but problems with it, fought and fought and fought with Chrysler to no resolve. The Diamler days are over and I don't much like the new FCA.... I apprenticed at a Chrysler/Plymouth dealership all through high-school until they shut it down and combined it with the dodge dealer down the road. I'm a lifetime diehard Mopar guy whether I like it or not.
