I believe they only do air lockers now, and not vacuum.

Geoff mcnamara is the son that has taken over the buisness and the one you will deal with , he is Mr personality++++++

I had a stripped crownwheel using a McNamara diff lock back in "78. I have to say I gave Jeff a pretty hard time and looking back on it I aint too proud of that performance.
To his credit, he took it reasonably well and a lesser person would have either snotted me or thrown me out.
He reasoned with me and I settled down. He was pretty good with a replacement and I respect him for those two reasons.
Maybe he is getting grumpy as he gets older, but I would buy any of his products if I needed them.

Probably a few more people giving him a hard time like you did DeeJay and having to talk to Chris..........may have driven him over the edge lol

I dont think there is anything wrong with McNamara stuff and it is probably better quality than ARB but he has 1 work shop and from what I hear has very little back up around the place but in saying that it also seems damn near impossible to break one of his lockers.

And seems I have neither and havnt brken either of them then my opinion isnt worth as much as one of these blokes that has had the experience with them.

It was just my thoughts thats all.

Hello BlackNight,

How do you tell if you have a Sals diff or not.???

i have a mcnamarra in the rear of my rangie and never had a problem i also have a detroit in the front .the good thing about detroit is no extra items are needed eg compressor etc

I've run ARB in my 94 3.9V8 disco for about six or seven years. Never had any problems with them at all, they have had a lot of use over the years some of it hard but I havent used it in competition - just by my self so if I break any thing I walk, therefore I am reasonably careful about it. Only broke one front drivers CV (actually exploded is closer) but that was in swampy ground at full noise when it finally got traction so it was my own fault.
