buddy of mine is having problems with his ARB air locker (front axle, TJ)

he thinks it is a seal

who in the area could fix this or at least confirm the problem? he says that it will engage from time to time....not by itself, but when he tries to engage it, sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont.

I would look at it for $texas. Seriously, I've not worked on an ARB air locker before, but I have done driveline shit before on bigger shit, and ain't scared a bit.

Uhhh...solenoid valve sticking?

there is a bit of a difference between driveline problems and an ARB i believe....and then wanting to charge $texas for it is somewhat ridiculous

Look, dipshit...I've got a good idea about how they work. I've been working with hydraulic and pneumatic shit since you were smearing shit on the walls of your kindergarten bathroom.

$25 an hour. Not really $texas, now is it? Nothing special about an ARB air locker...not when you've worked on 2-speed rear axles and PTO's and whatnot.

From the looks of your gallery, you shouldn't have any problem doing it yourself. What's up with that?

sounds like an air leak. seems i remember arb having some problems in this department with their dana models a while back, he might want to call them there may be some sort of recall. is he getting any gear oil out of the breather or anything when the compressor is on?
