ARB locker questions
I'm regearing this summer with the help of a mechanic friend with experience regearing his own axles, rebuilding engines, ect. Since my axles are coming apart anyway, I was thinking of tossing an ARB locker in the rear D44. Could I just install it and hook up the air lines and compressor later? I want to use an MV-50 compressor, so I need to figure out how the setup will work and gather the parts before operating the locker.
Other then drilling the differential housing for the air line, are there any tricky aspects to installing an ARB over an open differential? Also, does anyone have an ARB setup with a non ARB compressor?
