I had a pair of ARB's installed in my 93 YJ. The rear works perfectly, however when I turn on the front switch I have a ton of air coming out of the Breather Hose and the compressor runs constantly. I called ARB tech support, but they were doing inventory on Friday. Anyone have any ideas before I take the heep back to the shop? Thank you!
I would check the bulkhead fitting first. Then take the cover off and try to listen for leaks. you may need to put soapy water in there to see the leak.
I kno this is an old thread....What size is this O-ring..I think mine is missing it too, and leaking air at the bulk head fitting...Ill check it again tomorrow, But Im pretty sure its not in there...Where do you guys think could I find one of these local( Ie Lowes? Tractor Supply?.Etc?) Thanks!
When that happened to me a month ago, the copper tube inside the case got caught up in the ring gear, apparently vibrated just right on a rearward snatch pull of a buddy. In your case, since the locker seems to work, I'd say just a leak in the internal copper. The ARB engages with only 1/2 the 90PSI we send it, so a leaky system would still likely engage.
Thank you everyone for all the help/ideas. I took it apart last night and found out that the Shop forgot to put the little o-ring in. So all is perfect now and she is leak free. Thanks again.
Your local ace hardware store/lowes/home depot, etc.. should have a decent O-ring selection. From the pic, not being an ARB owner myself, I'd guess that's in the realm of a 3/8 x 1/8 O-ring. They're less than 50 cents apiece in my neck of the woods, so spend a couple bucks and get 1 or two sizes bigger and smaller.
Yeah..I spent a while checking last night....it is a 3.5mm o-ring....I ve never had to buy any before so Ive never dug through Lowes or Ace hardwares selection...Ill go see what they have...Thanks!
If you can wait, ARB will send you parts at no charge, just shipping. They just sent me everything i needed for a broken stem off the diff. It comes out of Cali.
Ok, Ill give them a call tomorrow...I saw an old post that said they would send the parts like you said, but it was from a few years ago...i figured they probably didnt do that anymore....Ill give them a try in the morning..Thanks!!
I found it a Lowe's.
Home Depot didn't have crap, as usual.
