Arb diff lock or detroit locker?
Mr Alford:
im looking at both and on a budget, i was wondering who has either im looking for just the rear at the moment as i cant afford both the detroit locker is around £350 and i can fit it myself i have heard is good offroad and thats all im interested in i dont care about on road as i hardly ever use it onroad
secondly the arb i have heard great reports about it but then the cost goes up and it has to be fitted by someone else correct?
comments from anyone who has either
i am swayed towards the detroit due to cost

dont like the sound of the running gear with lockers in. locker would make ur truck almost unstoppable but halfshafts would break easilys and a 3.54 diff would not be long after.
fiddle brakes would be a cheap as to locking a spinning wheel on the back.
as far as a locker goes id have to go for arb ever time i think.

i almost brought arbs a few months back , 2 lockers are the same price as winches front and back . so u will be stuck even with lockers but not winches to hand
as for driving with welded up diffs or truetrac effect then great for straight bits , but poor turning and mega stress on standard running gear
( oh that was on 8000 series tractor ruts in mid winter)
gr8 truck so far mr a think carefully for future mods
im now running over 3oo bhp ( im sure the gearbox gets worst every day ) so light attack off road all the time
