air locker
the old trucker:
Dave I have a diff from a metal bomber that looks stock. I had it apart & it has 4.89's in it. Mike's 57 has the same gears in his. We have 3 other diffs from metal bombers that are original but never had them apart yet.
My diff has stock 4.11's in it. I always thought the metal bombers came stock with the 4.89's. I know I can't put the diff from a metal bomber in my woody without changing the sprockets. Maybe someone can straighten us out.
OT.

what does it matter if it s a stock diff? mine has a dana 60 semi float with 456s,seems to be geared nice,more of a puller than a racer,tons of torque,. the air locker (arb) operates between 80-110 psi so cold diff might be an issue.will crown and pinion from dana 60 semi float fit in to a dana 60 full float.will be putting the full float in this summer.i think the 489s would be to low,411s would be nice if you dont pull huge loads. the compressor is very small it will fit in the front or floor.the locker lets you choose between locked diff or unlocked diff by flipping a switch,so not turning is not an issue ..
bigbud:
the compressor is a 12 volt electric ,so i dont need to hook a compressor to the engine,ARB makes air lockers for almost every diff made-check out their website arbairlocker
bigbud:
i use my bomber for winter fishing ,so its a tax write off,if the locker saves me from walking home once,then it paid for itself. it will cost 1200 for the air locker.approx
bigbud:
dave ,did you check oxbow tire for a price on the locker.they are very reasonable,if you find a good price let me know
