gq vacum rear diif lockers

[jazza_v]

are the factory gq vacum diff lockers any good?

[patch697]

I don't have one myself but from all accounts there really quite good when they work.

The main problem you hear about is the vacuum solenoids seizing up from lack of use.

I can tell you that from our experience here in Iceland they are very good. They are still using them with 46" tires and 5.9 cummings in the hood :)

Almost every modified Patrol here 35"-46" is using them with good results, haven´t heard a bad word said about the lock itself, the solonoid is a compleatly different thing.
