I had 4WheelParts in Fresno, CA install my ARB's into my 2003 TJ (4.0L, NV3550, D30, Super35). Took them a full day. The front D30 pinion seal started leaking the next day. They reused the original seal as they didn't have a new one in stock during the install. I called them and they said bring it in, it's under warranty. They messed with it a couple different times and couldn't get the leak to stop. I ended up ordering a new seal from Jeep and had my local auto shop install it. No leaks since. Thank you SuperShop Automotive in Merced.
As far as the lockers themselves go, great product. It's nice to have an open diff in a SWB vehicle for street driving and wet weather/snow....but with the flick of a couple switches you have a full time locker at your disposal. Never actually "needed" either of the lockers yet, but they're there and ready when I need them.
I had an issue when 4wheeling where the front air line got pushed up against the exhaust manifold and melted (plastic line). I ordered a emergency line repair kit from Rusty's Off-Road and it was a snap to repair. The line is a little shorter now, but still enough slack to flex with the sway-bars disco'ed.

Front and rear on my 98 tj. had them for a year now, and the jeep goes anywhere. I hear that air will start leaking soon, and that lines will get snagged, etc. hopefully this doesnt happen, but so far Im happy.
Oh, 4 wheel parts morons did the install, took them about 4 tries, as they learned/practiced on my rig. they were unable to install the tire inflation accessories and gave up. Learn from my misadventure and go to an experienced shop as these need to be installed correctly |

Work great. Love em. Quiet they are there everytime you need then without any trouble, and the extra added value of now having onboard air supply. Up graded to them after Detroit Locker blew up on me on the trail |

I love my ARB's. I have them front & rear in my 74 Ford 1Ton & my Jeep XJ. They have been in the truck for about 12 yrs & the XJ about 4 yrs. No problems. They have always worked. Never an issue.
I've driven in deep powder & hardpack snow, deep mud (bottom of my doors. I have a four inch lift & 38's in my truck, thru brush, over logs, etc, ...... no problems).
I've heard the seals inside will leak, but changing the diff oil once a year cures that problem. Being prior military, vehicle maintenance is second nature, therefore, changing fluids is no big deal.
I highly recommend the ARB's. I like them much better than the Detroit locker & Tru-Trac I had before. I've never been around the Electric-Locker or the OX Locker to compare the ARB's to, but for me, it's ARB's. |
