O man that sucks! Did they say if there was a way to prevent that? How did u figure out that was the problem!
I got the info second hand from my shop, so didn't hear about prevention. Basically, it worked all day on the trail for my rear locker. Then when I went to air up, it died completely after about 1/4 of my first tire.
When I first installed mine it was bad from the get go. After talking with customer care at ARB, they said they know of the issue. I was told that during manufacturing the issue was not caught. What kept me from being disappointed was their crazy fast service. After the technician explain what was wrong, all he said was there will be a new unit on its way by mid day. Send us your when you get it out of your vehicle. Never has a problem since.
Hopefully it doesn't break again. That's why I was considering a small compressor just for the locker. I'm thinking about having it relocated using the dual battery mount like you mentioned in another thread. Probably going to go that route since I'm broke and don't want to spend anymore than I have to right now. If it EVER breaks again, I will definitely buy another compressor for the locker and just use this one for airing up.
I'm hoping they get me the part soon. There's a run I want to go on 7/5, but don't think I'll want to go without my rear locker.
