arb locker question

so I'm looking at buying a new mud truck. its a 91 truck newer paint, no rust frame is mint, front end upgraded to all spicer components ( ball joints, tie-rod ends, bushings, etc), 4 inch procomp stage 3 lift with all upgrades available and airbag helpers, 3 inch body lift (guessing performance accessories), 212,000 km on vehicle 42,000 on motor, 3 inch fender flairs, 35x12.50 BFG mudders on eagle alloy rims, re-geared with 5.29s.

apparently this truck has an ARB air locker in the rear diff but needs a compressor and its good to go. i know that the ARB's are fed air through an air line but i have never seen one in real life so i would have no idea where to look for the air supply line off the locker.


what i want to know is can i tell if there is an arb in the diff without having to drop the diff out of it?

a picture is worth a thousand words :hint hint:

thanks a bunch

See the little red cap, under that is a brass fitting for where the ARB line connects. That is just an indication there is an ARB in there but no way to be 100% sure without pulling the diff.

Should be pretty close to there if not exactly in the same spot.
