im definitely excited. just got it back. im assuming theres no real instruction on how to operate it than besides turning on the compressor for a bit, then engaging the locker? now my rig is ALMOST done..

 

Congrats dude! I just received mine and will be installing it soon. Have fun with it.

I hate you.

Congratulations. Time to update the sig.

 

i hate you

 

yeah, i love my arb. just turn on the compressor till it stops running then hit the locker switch. its fun sitting in traffic and turning on the compressor, people really look at you funny.

 

Famous last words...

 

Where'd you guys get your parts and what did they run ya?

 

Now, is this front and rear or just rear?

 

Your t-shirt price just DOUBLED!



Congrats!

 

Hopefully I will have mine soon, if I can get this compressor up and running.

 

how much are these? i dig through mag. locker itself is over $600 and i would think compressors are more...what's the total cost?

 

average price is somewhere around $650 for locker, $200 for compressor and $300 to install.

 

These are really expensive! I might put one in the front but I think ill go with a E-locker retrofit in the rear.

 

They are also really worth every penny. If one is not using stock gears it all becomes a wash.

 

did either of you have a break-in period for the locker? the shop told me that i should run the diff for 500 miles under a light load and then change the oil. he said no wheeling until after 500 miles.

did either of yall do this?

 

hmm..the shop didnt even tell me to do that....ill have to call them.

 

I think they were talking about the break-in of the gears not the locker. Here is a break-in proceedure for the gears http://www.precisiongear.com/pgtech_breakin.htm

I took it a step or two further with mine, I changed the gear oil at 100 miles, 200 miles, and 500 miles, going to synthetic gear oil (Mobil 1) at 500 miles.

 

Locker should not need break in. I suppose that I did that with mine, mostly because I had gears being broken in with them. I never engaged the locker under load until the gears had hit the 500 mile mark.

For all who say these are too expensive, you have never side hilled with a Detroit either with or without snow.

The ARB needs good routing of the lines, upside down solenoids at the compressor and competent.

The E-locker needs to have the vent monitored. People in crappy climates, as in snow and mud, have had the motor die.

 

five more days, and mine go in
