diff locks

Post by Mr. octurbo »

just a question with ARB air diff locks.

being the only air locker i know of would they fit in a xr6/8 ute. due to having a locked diff being dangerous in the wet if your are unexperianced so unlocking and locking would be handy.

i cant afford either the diff locker or the ute but just a question. and yes i do not indorse ripping skids and making excessive smoke from your rear wheels.

(please move if in wrong area.)
thanks.

The BA falcon RTV ute already has a pushbutton locker. (electic solenoid activated)

There are some 2WD applications for ARB airlockers, but I'm not sure they do one suitable for a falcon ute. (but if its an old one with 9"rear... :twisted:)

There was one in the classifeds on here a few months back (sydney I think), and I believe they said it was a Hilux one that was fitted to an RX-7. I was rather surprised at the time.

Which is what is in the BA RTV ute.... like I said in the original reply.

I thought they were borg warner 78 though not ford 8.8. ford 8.8 is F150 rear not falcon.

i think in the ford rtv the electric locker will auto unlock at 80kph, incase you forget to turn it off
cheers Pete.

it's a common practice to fit complete hilux diff housings, diffs and axles to the arse end of series 1-3 rx-7's, due to them being stronger than the standard live axle, and about the right track width

not of it's not set up though the computer it won't :twisted: Wrangler rubicons are the same- it's a liability thing and can easily be bypassed.
