    hey so I wanted to get some opinions and I know everyone here has them so let’s here em. I recently replaced the rear end on my truck and now have a complete e-locker one with a busted ring and pinion laying around. My question is would it be best to 1 sell the whole thing as is, 2 part it out as is, 3 have it repaired and sell it. I was kind of leaning towards #2 personally. Thanks ahead of time.

    That's a tough one. IMO the main reason someone would want an entire rear end is just so they can add an e locker to a non e locker truck. Having a busted ring and pinion will make it a tough sale because to for new gears and install, you're spending about the same as it would cost to just add an ARB locker. Parting it out and selling it would likely be your best bet. Unless you can do the work yourself, then a junkyard ring and pinion would be a cheap fix, and could sell for decent money

    So I originally was going to rebuild the gears but thought if someone was wanting to gear lower and add a locker it would be perfect or perhaps keep stock ratios but have the locker. And I do have access to everything needed to rebuild it to stock.
