LOL - ya - I just went looking for them and posted up there. They came out great!

Thanks for the reply, you make a good point I would really like the arb but I figured get everyone's opinion. And it seems everyone is running the arb for good reasons.

I though about going to the Eatons when I ordered my axles but after talking to the shop and digging around here I decided to go with the ARB's. There are virtually no downsides to these units.

Yeah I guess I'm better off spending the coin once, plus the onboard air is good to have. Do you have to 30 spline or the 35 spline arb?

Also, lockers are not something you would want to do twice based on the time and/or money.

Well damn man where are the photos! I really want to see those gold rings!!

In the what was done to your rig this week thread!!! I need to just nut up and make a build thread

I was wondering if installing the ARB lockers would affect gas milage for everyday driving with lockers not engaged ?

No effect. Acts as an open carrier when not engaged.

I went 35 spline both ends

LOL - nope - the mileage will suck with or without lockers! Seriously, the ARB's are totally invisible. No effect on mileage.

Good to know.

I agree with not doing anything twice, but I don't think using an Eaton Elocker will be cause for doing it twice.

Hope not, i just bought 2 of them lol.

I was just stating it as a generalized statement regarding the cost/time of differential repairs.

You're the selected test dummy! Lol!
Happy Birthday old man!

If say I want to do front and rear arb lockers, do I need dual compressor? or just 1?

I'm only planning on doing rear. but just for info.

Your only need a single compressor. You can get a manifold with more than one output.

The dual ARB compressor is awesome. There are other posts from those with both, but for my money, I would get the dual compressor. A couple of pages back on this thread Cozdude posted a picture of the dual compressor

Pros and Cons? But would I really need it? I am not into rock crawling. just trailing, muds, climbing rough roads, mall crawling.

I was in the same boat. Sure it's not needed, but the extra air up time to me was worth the money. I went with the twin.

I have read that the eaton lockers you had to roll for the locker to engage is that the same with there new 4 pinion design and is that the same for the arb too or do lock as soon as you turn them on

They seem to engage when you hit the switch. The delay appears when you want to disengage if you have the locker under a torqued condition. It releases fairly quickly if you are moving and not under load.
