Mainly the o rings inside of the locker going out. And yes they were installed perfectly. They just like to leak for me. It wont stay locked.

Installed perfectly and they like to leak? Then you either have bad orings or a bad seal housing.

Lockers leak if there is a problem. Problem with the install or problem with the equipment it's been put in but you have a problem. Are you sure it's leaking under the seal housing? Did you spray it down with Soapy water and determine the location?

If what you're saying is correct and you have the diffs in as tight as they're supposed to be (Did you use a spreader?) AND you didn't roll your O Rings when you installed the seal housing then you have a run out issue.

Many times if the locker holds air when it's sitting still and then leaks when you're wheeling, you have one of two problems.

1. You've lost preload or it wasn't in there tight enough in the first place. Something got tweaked hard enough to cause your diff to lose preload on the carrier bearings and the seal housing is now moving around in there when you're moving. This happens all the time if you hop a truck with tires that are too big for your axle. D30's with 35" tires do it all the time when the tubes flex. Many people don't know, but we say right in our instructions that we won't warranty an install without the use of a spreader. Keep that in mind when you speak to your installer.

2. Something is bent. Probably a shaft but it could also be the housing. If your install looks kosher with at least .007 preload, o-rings look good and it holds air sitting still but leaks when you're moving, you've got run out somewhere. Usually shafts...sometimes tubes.

Check those. You'll probably find one of them on your leaking locker. Since you're in Lacey, you're welcome to bring it on up and we'll check your install for you. Drop me a PM and we'll set it up.

Put it in the way we tell you to and an ARB Air Locker will last you a long time. We see them come back 15 years later and they're still running strong.

Have a good wheeling weekend!

And this is one reason I'm not going to use "air lockers". I think ill go with OX

Hello,
I bought a Jeep Wrangler about two months ago. But I badly need to install a locker on my jeep Wrangler because of security issues. I will be appreciated if anyone suggests me best lockers for jeep.

Thanks

If you want bulletproof go OX locker, even if your cable breaks you can screw in manual locker. Air sources and cables, electronics, they can all fail. OX can be used after engagement device failure.

W.T.F.??? :?: :dontknow2:

I'm going with Yukon Grizzly lockers front and rear. I'm trying to avoid air or electronic lockers for simplicity reasons and I guess cost is a factor as they are a little cheaper. Are they better than ARB's not sure but believe they will serve my purpose well.

Lots of advice for choices here and all are good. I would go cable or electric as they seem the most simple to install.

The Grizzly is an auto-locker, ARB is selectable, can't really compare the two directly as far as which is better. It is opinion based on whether an autolocker or a selectable is better for you? No idea. (The Detroit Locker might be better to compare against since it is the ongoing fan favorite auto-locker that all others get compared to/against.

What Yukon has going for them (just my opinion) is the warranty. Don't know if it has changed, but it was nice to see 'lifetime warranty', followed by 'plus $2000 toward collateral damage' when I got a rear Zip. Combining a lower price point along with a decent warranty, Yukon lockers seem to have a lot going for them beyond the made-in-China debate.
