2600 retail I bet wholesale is 1300ish.  I called Marina just now, same price given. p/n 68053666ab - system shows one in stock in Cleveland.

I just found an ARB listing as well (RD139). comparable price to the True Trac at $980 to my door from Autoplicity.

I'd somehow feel better about spending that money on a selectable locker instead of essentially a stock replacement part. I guess it's my upgrade-itis?

I can get an arb to my door for cost plus shipping from mike at DnD. Think he said 880, and 50-70 in ship. If he does FedEx ill run shipping the cheapest route instead - but drop ship I probably don't have that option

Then after unknown time it'll break, waste the shaft too, and strand me. sounds like a good plan, right?

ARB will be on the way from East Coast Gear Supply ctsy of Mike at Down n Dirty.

ECGS had a cheaper truetrack than I'd found anywhere else too, but still too much in comparison to the ARB price.

Because I don't have one of those already set up in the other truck? Beyond easy. Sucker is gonna end up parted out anyway, no bites. Annoying.

it'll be way more useful than a limited stuck in shittyness, and will be much nicer stability wise going down shitty roads. One wheel peel keeps you in a straight line. I was thinking about the white knuckle flat towing in PA and how an open rear diff would have been much safer on ice like that. That's what sold me.

because the broken axle shaft cracked the carrier and the fuckers A) don't seem to exist used and B) cost a fucking fortune new
