Thread: Additional Traction - at cross roads with options.

Just rang TJM and they do a pro locker for the sals.....

400 More than ARB and that’s with me finishing off the install.

Sry for the slow reply.

Yes, Pro locker.

IMHO it is worth extra $$

He has not had any issues with air leaks,etc. But IF it does happen the actuator is seperate to the diff core. So its as simple as remove the diff cover, remove the acutator, fix/replace and reassemble.

Cheers and thanks for the explanation of the actuator.

Without sounding like a cracked record my previous lockers did 300000km with out issue and I engaged the rear every single time I thought there was chance of a wheel loosing traction, even the smallest slip.

ARB it will be.

The lattest updated ARB lock also has static seal. The previous, the seal will wear and eventually leak. I think that the main reason for the name ARB leaker

Do you know the structural difference between ARB, TJM prolocker and ashcroft?

Yes read about the updated seal although mine never leaked

Nope don’t really know in and outs of the differences between them TJM and ARB. Ashcroft don’t do sals so not much point looking into the internals.

No.

I was speaking to a guy at Cooma who has front and rear diffs with maxidrives fitted....his sons not keen in swapping them into his rangie....maybe I make an approach, would mean giving up the sals

dunno if they still do them, but you could just go with reduction gears from MR. Still in mine, still going fine, and for general buggering about never needed lockers and never broke anything.
