locking diffs?

(1/2) > >>

lambert:
ok so following on from the bad idea of retro fitting tc, what sort of diff lock would peeps recomend on the basis of budget, durability, effecttiveness and ease of use? detroit? kam? arb? truetrak?

knowledge is a wonderfull thing so please, give freely.

Range Rover Blues:
ARB, nothing else is the same and I dislike Detroits because they are locked up unless youhave enough grip for them to unlock, so ARB, ARB or ARB, failing that a truetrac.

Ditto. Never had any problems with the ARBs in ASBO, except whenI kept catching the airline and splitting it.

Bulli:

I've melted 2 on the exhaust during "flexing" so I routed it differently.  Hardly a reason not to buy an ARB though. route exposed sections through a bit of narrow hose pipe and all is well.  You can get away with using a 12volt tyre pump to run ARBs for a while if funds are tight BTW.
