The only aftermarket one that I know of is sold by Warn. And it costs about the same. The newer actuators from GM are actually a little electric motor. It works much better than the earlier heated-gas versions. If you're converting, then you'll also need a short harness adapter.

You can also get a posi 4x4 , which is an in cab, cable actuator. not sure of the cost, but at least it always work.

DO NOT PUT ANOTHER THERMAL SWITCH IN!!!


It was a bad design when they did it and it will leave you stranded at the worst possible time.

The electro-mechanical replacement is pretty good choice but the cable actuated positive locking setup is the best.

Sorry ... don't have any part numbers ... I'll look around.
