Air lockers
- Thread starter K-rover
- Start date
That's interesting. I had a buddy who bought a Toyota crawler that came with welded diffs. He was going to go with arb, but East Coast Gear Supply told him the TJM design was better than the ARB. He went with the TJM and has been happy with it. ... I'll check into the KAM locker.
I've had ARBs for around 5 years in mine and that seal is a pain in the ass. Every 2 years it starts getting flakey. Mine are the newer style ARB and the 3rds are toy 8", but a lot of the ARB parts are the same on rover diffs
The compressor is also a piece of shit It does not like airing up 35"s at sea level and forget trying at 8000ft

That's the one I have, definitely takes a while to fill tires. Super reliable though, so I can't complain too much.
I went ahead and ordered Ashcrofts front and rear with 4.11 gears.
What weight gear oil is recommended for air lockers?
Ive been running Lucas 85/140 in the stock diffs for as long as I can remember and have never had any issues.

Doing some research and found ARB recommends 85w140, but couldn't find anything from Ashcroft.. I'll probably just stick with that.
That's what I've been running for the last couple of months with my ashcroft lockers. Walmart branded dino oil. No negative consequences to report.
