The manual operation is also a benefit if you use your 4x4 as a daily driver since it doesn't affect highway handling characteristics. The ARB Air Locker is an excellent choice for front diff applications because it can be manually engaged or disengaged. For more information, contact: Eaton Corporation, ARB Air LockerHow cool is this? A locking differential that's air activated at the push of a button. The E-Locker can be operated in 2-Hi, 4-Hi, or 4-Lo, and requires no lube additives, making it virtually maintenance-free. It's an electronically controlled unit that's compatible with other electronic systems, such as brake-activated traction control and stability control. Still doing research but found some brief explanationsĮaton E-LockerAvailable to the public in mid-2002, the Eaton E-Locker provides full axle lock at the push of a button. I know the detroit lockers are good, but they're not selectable this is perfectly good for your rear axle, as they don't need to slip quite as much. you'll want a selectable locker such as an auburn ected or arb up front. however, for streetability you're looking at a higher price range ($700-$900 for new locker and then install cost to set the new locker/carrier in place and setting gears). I agree that the front locker will help you out the most offroad.allowing you to pull instead of push.
this is also the cheapest locker you can do. The best thing you can do with lockers on something that's still street driven is a rear locker.simply put, a rear axle has less variables and less moving components to potentially break.īasically the only lockers you can do yourself (with no experience setting up gears and lacking about $500 worth of equipment) is a "lunchbox" style locker.this is a locker which only replaces spider gears but not the complete carrier. They remove turning ability and increase the potential for broken axleshafts or other broken parts. Front diff lockers actually offer the least improvement in something which will be driven on the road.
