Thread: D3 rear diff lock

This is a question that has been asked many times......and I'll be in the queue to purchase one if and when they ever become available.....

All we can do is make constant approaches to ARB at this time and ask them if they have one.
If ARB receive enough enquiries through the sales team they will see the benefit in producing one.

I have asked for a diff lock and sahara bar for my D3

I stand to be corrected, but I think the issue with a "normal" diff lock on the D3 is that when locked, it will wreak havoc with the traction control etc etc...... The e-diff, being an "e"-diff works in conjunction with all the other traction aids.

I reckon the pressure is better applied to LRA to allow us to retro fit the e-diff. Does anyobe know why this isn't, or can't be done?

Would you really want to pay for an entire e-diff/half shaft assem.
plus CANbus enabled software plus fitting ? 6 Grand plus ??

I don't see how. Traction control kicks in when the wheels are turning at different speeds. When a diff is locked, both wheels turn at the same speed.

Previous model LRs with ETC and ABS have had no issues when diff locks are fitted.

It may be a better idea to approach McNamara - I am sure they would need a smaller customer list to start production.

I have bought a few bits and pieces from Jeff recently, and I have found him fine to deal with.

You just need to treat him like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld...

JERRY: There's only one caveat -- the guy who runs the place is a little

temperamental, especially about the ordering procedure. He's secretly

referred to as the Soup Nazi.

ELAINE: Why? What happens if you don't order right?

JERRY: He yells and you don't get your soup.

ELAINE: What?

JERRY: Just follow the ordering procedure and you will be fine.

GEORGE: All right. All right. Let's - let's go over that again.

JERRY: All right. As you walk in the place move immediately to your right.

ELAINE: What?

JERRY: The main thing is to keep the line moving.

GEORGE: All right. So, you hold out your money, speak your soup in a loud,

clear voice, step to the left and receive.

JERRY: Right. It's very important not to embellish on your order. No

extraneous comments. No

questions. No compliments.

ELAINE: Oh, boy, I'm really scared!
