Front diff actuator

So I recently just got denied warranty for my front differential actuator. Even though they have replaced it twice already. So my question is would you guys trust an eBay actuator? I don’t really want to spend $600 for an OE one.

I removed the actuator myself to try to solder the contacts but it’s way to corroded to be saved.

 

Whichever one you go with, seal it!

 

Yea forsure! Every time I cross a river or something it always messes up but I’ve been lucky to get it warranties twice already. They finally blamed it on my lift which is complete bs.

 

Yea I tried that. I disassembled the motor, even used some sand paper to get the corrosion off but the corrosion was pretty bad. I tested the motor and it worked fine. Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures.

 

Yeah my friend had his replaced twice haha. The third one, he sealed.

 

lol nice! I found one on eBay for $66 thinking about taking a chance with it

how did he seal it? Just put rtv around it? Or on the actual rubber gasket?

 

You can get a OEM out of Japan for $350. from RockAuto.
