ARB lockers - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Has anyone actually had an issue with the air lines freezing up so the lockers will not engage? Looking to run them down to -10.

I've run ARB's below -30 without any problem. If you have water in the lines, you'll have issues...

Thanks, do you add anything to keep it from freezing like you can in a truck air system?

I would not add anything to the air system. I'm only 20 miles N. of Lewiston and have never had any issues with cold temperatures and the ARBs.

Just make sure you don't get water in the lines. I use OBA to feed the ARB manifold...

I have had issues with moisture in the air freezing and blocking the line.

You could put a moisture filter on the manifold before or after the selenoids.

As luck would have it, I discussed this very issue with Daniel from ARB at KOH. He said they work a lot with all those giant tired Arctic rigs you see and most of them run ARB's front and rear with no issues.
