Its a good thing I did, because the front one blows back some gear oil every once in a while. It would suck to have that stuff in the interior. :no: TJSUPE 07-29-05, 04:38 PM Do you mean that they blow oil back through the exhaust port on the switch? Dukes69 07-29-05, 06:21 PM yes TJeeper 08-02-05, 03:06 PM When your ARB seals start to leak a bit, oil gets pushed up the air line when the differential warms up. It acts like the vent tube is blocked (but it isn't I checked). The ABS tray (where I have the soleniods mounted) in my Jeep is soaked in gear oil. Not something you would want inside your Jeep. Hopefully I will have time in the next couple weeks to pull the carrier. Patrick nagal 08-02-05, 04:50 PM Do you mean that they blow oil back through the exhaust port on the switch? One of mine does this also. blkTJ 08-02-05, 04:54 PM the ARB manual says a little blowback is normal, FWIW. cjdirtbiker 08-02-05, 05:00 PM I was going with that setup and run my locker off my Co2 but was talked out of it. The ARB pump is so simple, comes with a complete wiring harness, is so easy to hook up, and then it just has to do one thing. For the $200 one time 'fee' it was worth it.

Thats exactly what I did . . . very easy. TJSUPE 08-05-05, 11:55 AM Well, I ended up purchasing the swithces and solenoids, harness etc....... rick 08-07-05, 08:35 PM Well, I ended up purchasing the swithces and solenoids, harness etc....... Don't you have a York? Don't the switches and solenoids come with the lockers...? Mine did. I'm confused. TJSUPE 08-07-05, 09:18 PM I picked up a front and rear axle (used) with lockers already installed, so I had to get all the rest of the stuff. blkTJ 08-08-05, 08:03 AM Don't you have a York? Don't the switches and solenoids come with the lockers...? Mine did. I'm confused. FWIW, your locker looks complete Rick. :) rick 08-08-05, 02:09 PM Aaah, IC... It's all clear now. Thanks Brian. |
