Okay why do you guys love arb, its a air hose that MUST supply air or it goes back to open, could be an air leak, ripped off hose, pump went out.

Now an ox is cable actuated and you can actually engage the cable for the locker, lock the locker and go back there with a bolt cutter cut the stainless steel braided line that runs into the actual differential and it will still be locked, as a matter fact I'm told you can lock it with nothing more than a bolt. the design seems less prone to failure. so you tell me why ARB over OX lockers.

OX is also cheeper.

I like both of the lockers!
What's your take?

 

Been covered here many times.
ARB > Ox

 

I still like the look of the yukon zip locker. even less than ox (but you need a compressor). and they have that $2000 collateral damage warranty (not sure about other brands warranties). it's worth a look. what axle is it going into?

 

True but its a limited when not locked, correct and I'm just debating lockers to go in my axles once I build them prob a 60 / 44 HP Ford 5 5.5

 

so lunchbox the front since you'll have hubs anyway and spend the saved money on ARB rear

 

I'll never run an arb... But I do like the point with the hubs I didn't consider that.

How could 12v to compressor to switch to soft air line ever be better than lever to locker... I don't know I did do a search and it comes down to pretty much personal preference everyone likes to float there boat a little different

 

sounds like you made up your mind already?

 

I have to some degree but I wanted to see if someone could prove the arb is better, there is no question more run the arb but why? That's all I guess Idk I'm vary selective...

 

That's Auburn's ected locker that's an lsd. The zip is fully selectable open or locked.

 

ARB > Anything. lol

They are QUALITY lockers. You get what you pay for.

 

Eaton E-Locker FTW!!

 

not ox vs arb but zip just figured id post

 

Seen that. Made by ARB. Yukon has one that shows the Zip snapping 5 different shafts without failure. I'd like to know the exact specs of each test.

 

Do a search and find out how many ppl have gas issues with the ox cable failing. I know eaton puts restrictions on what size tire they will warranty to.

Arb major failures are due to air source, or seals. The solution is to be prepared. Carry a splice kit as well as extra hose. Lastly route your hose so there us a limited chance of damage, and protect the house by running it inside of anotherr hose.


If you time when you purchase the arb you can get it with a free compressor

 

i have no issues with my OX.
