Questions about ARB locker in 8.8

[Jason_25]

Who's running the ARB?

Do you notice any backlash (slack) in the drivetrain with it?

Thanks in advance.

Bump.

I bought an ARB for the 8.8 when they first came out with them. Nothing but problems!!! Sucked ass badly!!! Finally bought a newer model one last Oct. and I love it. Haven't broke a single thing using it yet.

My first one had some slack in it but my main problem was it was blowing itself up all the time. Literally blowing itself up!!! Under hard stupid pedal it would just "POP" and unlock itself. Went through that like 4 times before I heard ARB redesigned it. But the newer better model has worked flawlessly with no probs.

Awesome Derrick. Thanks for the response. So your new one is tight with no backlash?

 

[Derrick C.]

If there is, I can't feel it.

 

[Jason_25]

Thanks

I have the new ARB, and I can't feel any backlash from it.
It really depends on how your gear guy puts it in.
I have not had any problems with my ARB so far. I love it!

Thanks Ray.

Unfortunately it is still out of my price range, but one day I will have one

I have two friends with ARB's in their 8.8, never heard a single complaint from wither of them.

I have one in my front axle, well almost, it's ready to be installed, I have to find the time.....

Eventually I will have one in the back too...

whats the price range on one?

I've seen them range from about $600 all the way up to $780. Then another $200 for the ARB compressor. Don't use theres though. Sucks!! Use a Power Tank compressor.
