I had both front and rear air lockers in my jeep. My advise is to go with the eaton. My airlockers chewed up two compressors and tended to constantly leak air, which kept cycling the compressor. I believe some of these problems were related to the compressor being installed under the hood where the constant heating and cooling played hell on the airlines and o rings.
As far as traction and control, there is nothing that compares to a locker in both diffs. Will you use it? I doubt it as you only lock the front in the worst situations. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Really? Did you plumb it yourself or have a shop do it? Mine work flawlessly. I did have to learn to use the correct thread sealers when setting up the fittings on the compressor to solve air leaks. I have no leaks at all since. (ARB Comp).
The thread sealant ARB recommends is crap. What works is a 2 step process (Learned this from a commercial plumber). Make the first layer Teflon tape, and then use Whitlam Blue Magic pipe thread compound on top of that. Seals on the spot, and then sets up nicely. Easy to clean of later if you need to work on the fittings.
