bigdave 11-11-2002, 01:21 PM I am planning on rebuilding a Dana 44 for my solid axle swap on my Bronco, and I am chosing between an OX Locker and an ARB. I have heard plenty on the ARB, but not much on the OX. Does anyone have any experience with one? sceep 11-11-2002, 01:29 PM did you even fawkin bother SEARCHING????

Calm down! Only one person said something helpful and that was that some people he knew had some problems, but the same with the ARB. I was posting to see if anyone had any personal experience with them. billj 11-12-2002, 05:36 AM Lockers suck. Open diffs are the only way to go. You break less stuff that way.......... :flipoff2: :p :flipoff2: Sully 11-12-2002, 09:12 AM Just weld the diffs shut. Better yet, run without any lube in 'em. They'll weld themselves for ya. PS: What Sceep said. :flipoff2: Eskimo 11-13-2002, 07:41 AM Originally posted by bigdave Whoa, Jose! Calm down! Welcome to the PBB, Newbie. :flipoff2: Seriously, search before you post. OX's are OK, you get a decently beefed cover.. I drove a friend's TJ with an OX, and he always says he has problems engaging it.. Worked perfectly for me everytime..

The key is to have the cable adjusted right the front cover weighs 17lbs and will take a lot of beating the locker is very well built . The ARB is great but no pump no locker seal goes bad no locker damage the air line NO LOCKER. For me it it has been money well spent !!! bigdude 11-13-2002, 03:15 PM Originally posted by Jakesteramalamajama Is that Bigdave or BigDUDE? :flipoff2: I like his fawking sig :flipoff2: :laughing: | |
