My Shogun has locking diffs fitted as standard

[canreal]

What type of arb I need for Iveco massif? Thanks

[ARB4WD]

@canreal ARB has Air Lockers available for this vehicle, but will need more information to identify the correct part numbers. Please contact your local ARB distributor for more information.

PEOPLE!!! This isn't an offroad forum or the customer service line at ARB. Do a few minutes of research online before making yourself look like a moron asking stupid questions in the comment section of a product video. PLEASE!

[aydinburton93]

hey mate im in australia and was wondering the prices on this?

[97jocke]

ARB air lockers is best!!!

[cobalt120]

Well. I do like to engineering principles.

However a couple people i know that have it have problems with it in the cold. -10c or colder.

[MrTrinifella]

I currently own a Ford Ranger xlt 2007 model and im wondering if i was to put one air locker in the rear diff would it make any sense?

[Sodiumreactor]

@MrTrinifella Nope. Put it in the front, unless your truck has a factory locker in front. The front tires have more traction normally because of the engine weight, where the rear tires just have an empty bed over them. My suggestion. I would love to get one of these for my 07 Ram 4x4, but Im sure they are thousands of dollars, and im not working right now :(

[bluntsizzel]

I love my ARB air lockers I will never own a 4x4 without them !!!

[nathanfiorano1]

not to be a nuisance or anything but whats the difference between the arb airlocker and my standard locking differetials on my toyota landcruiser 200 sahara

[metalandriod87]

@nathanfiorano1 the 200 series is always running in 4H, but I believe the power is split 40/60 front and rear. The "locking differential" you're referring to just locks the centre driveshaft to change the power split to 50/50. This is a common marketing tool used by salesmen to make you think you have locking diffs, when in fact you'll find it only has LSDs. The true diff locker ensures the left and right wheel on the same axel get the same amount of torque, and rotate together.

@nathanfiorano1 the video practicably tells you dick head

[charlemagne1978]

is these applicable to nissan armada 4wd auto trans.?do it need to installed in the front n rear diff.?

[ahmed1994uae]

is arb locker sold in gulf u.a.e,oman or saudia arabia?

[bptryp]

I bought the RD139 for my Dodge with the AAM 11.5 axle, but it can't be installed because the tapered roller bearing on the crown side/ring gear side doesn't fit, it's too large. I called ARB USA and they told me that the bearing was the OEM tapered roller bearing. The OEM bearing fits on the land with an air gap. We mic'd the dimensions of the factory lsd vs. the air locker, and they are differnt dimensions. Is this normal, or does the Dodge without a factory lsd use different bearings?

[KASSIDYPOLLARD]

DADDY DADDY DONT GO UP THAT!!!!!!!!!

its ok kiddies we have ARB air lockers!!

yayyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cheergal2000]

how much?

[TheCesarGuerrero]

whats the diffrence between the air locker and LSD??

[privatealpha]

@TheCesarGuerrero LSD is limited slip, which means it still allows some slip between left and right. In most offroad situations, you want both left and right wheels at the same speed so they share torque 50/50.

[ligyro]

why is there a separate button for air compression? what does that button do and what purpose does it serve?

[driftenisme]

@ligyro i think it turns on the air compreser ... so it can then air lock the diffs ..... ..... yeah so when the compreser is on it air into a air tank thing ... then once turning on the locks front and rear the air from the air tank is being used .....

[frederickt]

1:17-1:30, porn. I need lockers in my van if I dont plan on selling it come spring. 1994 Mazda MPV part time 4wd with an electronic "center differential lock". I was having the same problems finding traction in the friggin snow even with the center diff lock turned on.

[kumquatsta]

hope so! i think i read about it on autoblog a while back. hoping for solid axles front and rear too.

[kumquatsta]

i wish the patrol was available in the states especially diesel.

[deeber223]

yy its funny why dont companies sell diesels in america? (a few exceptoons i know)

[kermit30au]

I have these with the LTR OME shocks on my Landrover. ilynchy I saved a little cash by doing both at the same time. The way they are set up they engage the rear first then lastly the front. Its electricly set up like this in the switches. Just remember once the front is engaged steering is almost imposible without powersteering. People who buy one locker get the rear. I know people with smaller cars and large trailer boats use rear sets to help them pull out on the boat ramps.

[elite024]

I've always heard that its better to lock the front first, because they are the wheels that can turn you out of a situation if you need it. And it really all depends on what type of axle you have. I do know that if you have a Jeep YJ or TJ and have a Dana 35 in the back, you do not want to lock that D35 because its just asking to bind up and break.

[ilynchy]

how much do the locker cost to be installed also if you just got one locker would you get front on rear? is it not worth just getting one? do u save money getting two at once?

[ARB4WD]

The answers to these questions vary from vehicle to vehicle. We recommend you contact your local ARB distributor to discuss your requirements. You can find a worldwide store locator on our website.

[GeorgeV6v24]

So even with the air-lockers ON, you can actually turn your wheels right or left, without damage... on terrains with bad traction.

[R1PBROCK]

I'm in the process of choosing all the goodies for my Hilux. Since doing everything all at once can be expensive, I don't know whether to have my front and rear diff locks installed now or go with a winch first. what would be the first thing you would g for if you couldn't have both straight away.

[elite024]

You would probably want to get the winch first, because if you get stuck with lockers, you are stuck good.

[kermit30au]

lol Thats so bloody true......

[axis1260]

@R1PBROCK

with lockers you dont need a winch ;)

[24x2beer]

Has this been tested in winter conditions cold temp ,,compressor freeze up ,air lines,,,from Ontario Canada

[ARB4WD]

ARB's engineering department is equipped with a freezer and an oven for extreme temperature testing. Check out Top Gear's expedition to the North Pole. The Arctic Truck's vehicles were equipped with ARB Air Lockers.

[kermit30au]

Yes I have seen this demonstration in the cold. They use them alot in Iceland on their 4x4 expeditions. They realy drive them hard also. So its a very valid test.
