@pryorfire48, what you saw was the pin set came loose after break.. That's normal on all lockers when this happens. Pin set on differential is kinda like saying a pressure cooker have a pressure release cap, and when it pops then the lid is no good.. Same as this, pin set is no good.
is it me or at 4:28 you see parts fly out of the case. I am not talking about the orange indicator on the chain. This is a piece of metal from the case, and since the video shows them pulling the axle shaft out of the side gear it's not the axle

I had my ARB spider gears explode with no damage to my Dana 35 rear shafts. The shitty little 27 spline D35 shafts should've gone before the ARB. Not to knock ARB, but an outsider test would seem more reliable,
@MentalChainsawDude Well, you should think about gear-reduction, since, with it, you also have a TQ ratio to deal with. Say an engine puts out 270lb/ft of TQ; a 3.4:1 1st gear; 2.72:1 low range; and a 4.10:1 RP in the diff: this equates to to over 10,000lbs of force. Now, if that was distributed equally, then you would have 2500lbs of force going to each axle. Considering you have about 60%/2 going to the rear that would be 3000lbs per axle; 40%/2 to the front or 2000lbs per axle.
It shouldn't be a surprise since the Yukon products are all cheap knock-offs from India made by a company that just copies other products rather than engineering them.
My friend blew his Dana 30 ARB apart pulling another Jeep out of a mud hole. It took out his R&P too. He was running 36" tires on stock shafts. Shafts OK locker destroyed. ARB wouldn't cover under any kind of it. So he bought a Rubicon D44 and uses the factory locker in it. No more problems.
I will take the zip locker any day of the week. At least Yukon can get me my freaking product. You guy's at ARB absolutly suck ball's! Why the hell have a sale if you guy's don't have any product to ship people. I ordered my zip locker for my 84 Toyota Hi lux and had it in 3 days and it came with a FREE compressor to. You guy's did not have crap in stock!
El video esta truqueado, el CASE de mi ARB "original" trono peor que el chino, y el vendedor me dijo que eso no tenia garantia por eso cambie a yukon que por lo menos me dan una buena garantia y responden por lo que le pueda pasar al locker
lol anyone who thinks this is unbiased is kidding themselves.
Who's to say they didn't weaken the Yukon locker over and over testing it multiple times then start recording lol Or that the ARB one didn't break and then they just put new parts on the bench lol
I know you guys make quality products, but to me this video would be more credible if you did a few things. If you tested 10 of each, we could have a some more reliable #'rs. Also if you would show the ultimate yield strength of the second shaft that sheared. Who knows maybe the second shaft broke before the zip locker. One last thing, If an independent unbiased tester posted this, it would also have more credibility.
Is the failure point of the ARB really unknown? Have you really not measured it? It seems obvious that you would try a custom axle and find out. If ended up being a massive amount more, you could advertise that. So why havent you? Or have you and are they not that far apart?
6500lbs to break the axle. put another axle in and do it again ? the zip went to 6700lbs before it broke . so whats up ??

Either locker seems pretty strong. If you are putting that much force onto your parts, you are probably doing something wrong or stupid.

@MentalChainsawDude Also, the lower the gears in the diff or with a 4:1 T-case, then the more the TQ ratio exacerbates the problem.

Funny how:
1: ARB is doing the testing
2: In their facility
3: This is completely biased towards ARB
4:No different models (axle sizes) were tested.
5: What is the breaking point of a ARB? Who knows, they wont show it. The axle bent early.
And not to mention a Yukon Zip Locker is much less expensive.

I would rather see this testing done by an outside company that has nothing to do with arb or yukon. I would trust the results better
freakmanhere 1 year ago 14
@freakmanhere Try it on the entire axis and then examine the damage
Repeat the test on a new one
Test the axis of the vehicle without removing the axis of the examination
To discover the consequences then tell the world
