If your after a review of no difflock/ETC/ARB/TJM/Detroit difflocks

Get the newest 4wd monthly mags has 2 other mags with it one has a big review of the same 4wd with all of the above in them, would seem they rated the ARB the best and the TJM second, and the Detroit last, but all very good and worth the money either way.

Take a read of that, goes for a 4-5 pages as well.

I hate the mags, paragrph review of a product. waste of time even writing the thing.
I just wasted another $9.95 by buying 4wdmonthly only to realise the article you refer to is from a very old publication and has no reference to TJM Prolocker whatsoever as it wasn't released back then. What it does compare is ARB airlocker, TJM Lockright auto locker, Detroit auto locker, ETC auto locker, MaxiDrve vacuum operated locker to an open diff arrangement.

I would say from this list that the ARB airlocker is a clear winner. The mag actually states "When all is said and done, it's definately a 'horses for courses' decision!"

Hopefully they do an unbiased up to date comparo soon as i'm in the market for a rear locker at the end of the year.
I didn't even know TJM marketed an auto locker. :?

Cheers Mick.

Ive seen ads for EATON electric lockers of late, anyone tried one or know what they fit? The ad gives the impression they're LSD when unlocked, I thought they would be for commodores and alike but saw the ad in 4x4 Aust.

Here's a quote from the mag;

"Lock Right is an automatic locker, distributed by TJM"

And who gives a fvck if it is or isn't.

If you bothered to read the post you'd see it was about TJM's newish Prolocker. zagan then stated their was a review in latest 4wdmonthly. I bought the mag only to find it was an old reveiw of lockers before the Prolocker was even sold.

Enough said about that, let's get back on topic as there are plenty of people, including myself, who want to know what the Prolocker is like compared to the ARB airlocker.
