ARB air locker issue
I just had an ARB locker installed in my front dana 44 when I went to 5.13s. when I engaged the front locker I couldn't turn the wheels..... I was on concrete.... and just wanted to make sure it was functioning. I had to disengaged the locker and roll the vehicle forward and back a few times to disengage the locker even after turning the switch off............
anyone have an idea what is wrong?? |

Yeah that means is working, its not recommended to use a locked locker on pavement anyway especially on the front. It puts a ton of strain on the drive train. Great way to snap an axle, seen it done with the guys that would run welded diff on on the road.

You just verified it is working. Congrats.

no they didn't say a word... have had my rear for a few years... love it.... installed the front for my Moab trip next week and just decided to test it..... I just thought I would turn the wheel.. feel the skip and disengage....
thank goodness I didn't learn my lesson the hard way by breaking something..... yes............ I feel stupid!!! thanks guys |
This kind of situation is why they put a big bold caution in the owners manual against using 4WD on dry pavement.
At least you aren't alone. There was a post a while back from a guy that just had a set of dyna 60's and 40" tires installed, then immediately went into the asphalt parking like and started doing figure 8's while in 4wd. Came on here all upset about how the shop f'd up the install... :doh: |
