Howdy All,
Looking at putting the ARB diff lockers on an 80 series 4.2L diesel.
I presume the front diff is the go?
My rear diff self destructed about 50,000km ago and I had a rebuild put in with LSD. I hear the cruiser LSD dies after about 50,000 kms. I did a few spinnies on some grass a while back and the LSD is still working.
I presume the ARB diff lockers are the go over Detroit etc. as its a part time 4wd and I use the cruiser as my daily around town car also. Better the ARB type you can turn off/on than the Detroit full-timers?
Any thoughts appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks for the replies.
With a Lock-Right fitted to the front diff only on the 80 series, when I haven't locked the hubs in, the Lock-right's wont be turning will they?
ie. The Lock-Right is only being used when I lock in 4WD mode?
So when I am driving around in 2WD I will notice no difference in the steering performance etc?
Apologies if this sounds a novice question but trying to understand how it works.
Ta.

You wont even notice with a Detroit locker as once the hubs are unlocked the axles are not engaged the diff centre just sits there waiting to be used again.
Cheers Steve.
