[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 434087, member: 18789"] Seems like that problem was a lot less common in the 2000-2010 range than 2010 to now. My buddy says manufacturing changed at some point (not sure when) and ever since that's when things went downhill. They still have the name from before and people still buy them, but definitely it is a problem point. There is a big Jeep shop in Arizona that pushes everyone to Eaton e-lockers instead now because too many customers returning with ARB issues. For a while, I think ARB felt like the only selectable option. Not much info was out there about Eaton e-lockers, barely anybody used them and I think people were scared to be one of the first to use them. Then 6-7 years ago they started being talked about more and they came up with better engaging mechanisms as well as maximizing how many gears inside the unit they had. I think they upped it from 2 to 4 in most models. Anyways, I don't want lockers, but if I did, I would 100% go Eaton. I would not entertain an ARB these days personally. Not that I wouldn't run it if it came in a Jeep I bought though. Just wouldn't go that route if I was buying lockers to begin with. [/QUOTE]
