Wanted front switched locker for 2003 gu3
If and when before silly death I get to enjoy retirement Stroppstar, my Ultimate Tourer choice will have to be E-Locker types [emoji123][emoji123]
Whilst I’m still up here in the Switchback Hills hairpin corners I’ll keep running Air near Instant type ARB Lockers for now [emoji120][emoji120]

Explaining better for my own retirement hopefully, sick to absolute death of Air Leaks on old work trucks [emoji35]
In regards Air Lockers, every company as I understand has been chasing ARB to achieve a fastest bolt drop since their creation?
Choose a LOCKER system that suits our planned driving needs, unfortunately manufacturers don’t divulge of their rotational distance/circumference needs to LOCK their devices in time.
E-Lock for my long straight run across Bulldust future retirement needs [emoji120][emoji120]

FWIW: May offend some, apologies, but Auto-Lockers would never be in my choice [emoji26]
Have witnessed Top Mates with them needing to steer crazy lines up embankments in crawling gears to spook them out of cog ?

Auto-Lockers on the rear diff are no problem. Front diff its suicide...
Regarding ARB vs E-Locker, I have the impression that the ARB housing and gears are better. If I recall correctly, E-Locker for Dana 44s here in Brazil had only 2 planetary gears while any ARB has 4.
Love my front e-locker. Everyone else exiting Palm creek on the OTT were either bouncing or spinning (smoking) wheels. I just drove up. A pretty young lady came across to where I'd pulled up & said "You made that look easy mate".
So there ya go, get an e-locker & attract the women! :icon_driving:
Ok you convinced me cuppa, e locker it is now where are the women ha ha haQuote:

My air locker I have, yes its from China, surprise! From memory when I got it, its the leftovers from the original ARB design. But, it has not failed me once in the 7 years I've had it. Not that its been used once in the last two years though. Sorry once, a quad seal had to be changed... Tested it out last weekend with the wood trailer in tow, and no leaks...Quote:

The ARB Airlocker is designed, Machined and fully manufactured in Kilsyth Victoria mate. you have not got a "Left Over" ARB Locker, you have a Chinese copy 100%. If it gets the job done though then its getting it done.Quote:

Most have now moved on to the Bow2 Motor or the Red Winch for best output or the Mahle like you ahve @MB
Was afraid to say that without 100% confidence, but this is really what I've always heard, 100% Aussie product.Quote:

Yeah it was a while ago so just going from fuzzy memories. But I do recall something in the kit had ARB stamped on it. Probably just the Chinese doing heir best again at replicating. But yep, used it plenty of times without fail.Quote:
