max air for arb diff lockers

Regarding max air prices. I noticed the genuine article at a local camping store the other day for about $50 less than 4WD stores. Makes you wonder .. then again, heaps of the same gear can be bought much cheaper elsewhere. They must have a good retirement fund.

As for diff lockers .. can't see why not. They push out more air.

Cheers

Do the max airs have a tank on them? I can't remember, if they do, a couple of mods would make it work, if not, you'd need a seperate tank to make it work wouldn't you??

No you cannot run the Max air for Lockers . The max air is desighned to run 72 l a min fast flow with only 150 psi aprox . The ARB compressor is desighne do run at 200 psi to jam the lockers in

cheers

Yet another comment regarding prices of Maxi Air!!!

This 72 litres p/m compressor seems to be sold under numerous different names and prices. Big W at $89.00 for compressor, hose , gauge etc in a bag. The 4WD shops for exactly the same at $190.00 and also at the 4WD shops an exact same compressor with a guarantee of I think 5 years at $399.00! Plus as mentioned above, Repco with a few extras. I bought one and they work well. No complaints except that I only found the item at BigW after I paid $198.00!!!@@@###$$$%%% at a 4WD store.

Yes you can use the max air compressor to run the lockers but you need to buy:
Wiring Harness, Pressure Switch (80 cut in - 100 psi cut out) and on/off switch.
You also need an air tank with an 1/8 BSP fitting for the locker solenoid, 1/4BSP fittting for the pressure switch.

It can be done but far easier just to use the ARB compressor which comes with everything for $280.00. If you have to pay for the pressure tank and cannot make it yourself then it would actually cost more to use the max compressor.

Note lockers only run between 80 to 100 psi no more.

Eric in november issue of 4x4 aus the arb compresor is $288 without an air pressure switch & no mention of soliniod or wireing loom were do you get yours from at $280 for all that
