airlocker vs prolocker

Had twin airlockers on three vehicles now.

Trouble free except for some air leaks on early unit 1995, fixed under wararnty.

Also lack of some sort of non return valve sucked small amount of diff oil up to compressor. Again quickly fixed. (this was after very heavy and prolonged usage, more that most would ever experience)

Hi Robin
You say 'one in the rear doesn't do much'.. In my vehicle I have to engage the REAR locker before I can engage the FRONT locker..is this normal???
Also, like others..air leaks into diff (seal o-rings stuffed??) and diff oil vapour back thru the solenoid..
Apart from that..all good.

Hi Signman
The default wiring is to have rear on befor you can turn on the front, it is not hard to change, if you look at the wiring diagram it is easy to work out.
I did mine so If I have to climb a ledge on a bit of an angle you turn the rear of to stop it from crabing, pretty rare but have done it a few times.

Have fun

Hi Signman

The reason you have to engage rear first is simply because on how wiring loom was done .
Its politically correct from ARB's point of view to go rear first.

Your flexibility is reduced because it is perceived to be safer that way.

I could go on about this , but simply ask the question "What about when you need to use lockers in reverse".

Just changing loom to link switches to power instead of via rear locker relay will fix.

Did my own install , and took more time to get air inlet up high , and care with O-ring , as its easy to get it wrong.

No oils issues ever.
