From what I heard > the 'chinese copies' ARE INFACT official retired ARB products...

ARB commisioned a company in china to make a whole bunch of diff locks for em and now they don't want them, so it's near ARB quality going dirt cheap and they have tons of em

@sierraduke we've heard this rumour too and I'm happy to say that it's totally incorrect. ARB Air Lockers are, and always have been, made in Australia using Australian parts. We've never setup production facilities in China or commissioned any Chinese companies to manufacture Air Lockers. Hope that clears things up.

hi ... i want to ask .. i have landcruiser with factory diff lock can i add arb locker on the factory difflock or it will harm it i need reply quick please

[ARB4WD]

@q8yba7t We're assuming you are talking about a LandCruiser with a centre diff lock. This matter is covered in great detail on the Ask ARB page of ARB's website.

ARB is the way to go. We are using them in comps they are by far the strongest and it is alot easier to change and axle than the diff.

I already have a Powertrax Lock Right locker in my rear axle as of now though if it ever goes out i will be looking for something a little better and I see this. My question is does ARB make this Air locker for a 1997 Chevy Silverado K1500 5.7L with a GM 8.5" rear axle?

If I ever get the money to have the ARB Rear Locker put in my truck I definitely will purchase one. I had an ARB Deluxe Bumper on my Jeep ZJ and absolutely loved it.

@morbid1ification Haha not saying it wont fail, chances are the probability of a high quality air locker (ARB) failing is a lot lower than the chinese copy... the torque figures of it breaking, no car could replicate, its the life of the product that draws a line... & whilst were at it, if the only thing keeping you on tough tracks are air lockers, then you deserve to get left out there... give me a yell when your lockers seize up and i'll tow you out...

[morbid1ification]

@riptide178Of course it would be somebody who is pissed that a cheaper product that is doing the EXACT same job,BREAKS at torque figures that you will never duplicate in any sane 4wd situation and is PRICED at a realistic price compared to the Aussie Ripoff Barons is knocking anyone who buys that said cheaper product!!By the way if you go out 4 wheel driving thinking your original airlocker/s are bulletproof and NEVER break you deserve to be left stuck out there for your ignorance!!!

[morbid1ification]

@8injoe What are still going strong the Aussie Ripoff Baron product or the Chinese copies?I have the copies in my turbo hilux and they have been problem free and for the price if and when they do pack up i will buy them again.

Argh, If only I had enough cash to get an ARB locker :(
