Differential problems | Leaking ARB air lockers | Why did mine destroy itself? | Part 1

#arb #4x4 #landcruiser
I have a leaky air locker. It's an internal leak that causes the air pressure to come out of the diff breather, and if the car is on a bit of an angle, it decides to start pumping oil out too. Sound familiar? Then watch this video.
Part 1 of a 2 part video, as I'm currently waiting for parts, so enjoy sitting on the edge of your seat in excitement and anticipation.
My problem was a damaged copper pipe caused by poor fitment from whoever installed it. I've ordered my choice of repair which is a 1/8" compression union fitting.

The awesomeness of video editing making it look like a quick and easy job!

[@shaddonaghue]

Bloody air leakers hey , hmmm i feel like potatoes tonight 🤔

[@MovingPicturesAfrica]

I learned so much. Except what an air locker is 🙂

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

Unfortunately what's in my head doesn't reflect in the videos very often 😅

[@brentmcd12]

very interesting! good video ! 🛻📹😎🤙

[@LuaiADV]

It could have been avoided if the original installer took extra care in routing the line properly. I have done 100+ arb locker installs. 0 issue on my installs. In your case, I’d change the brass line and solder in a new one.

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

Correct. Entirely the fault of the installer, but this was unfortunately before I got the car.

[@unproadventures4142]

nice diag mab....maybe you should work for arb

[@natebetcha8059]

Still looking for the hoist in my basic tool kit!!

[@talk2leo]

Do you a video on installing that lovely Touratech suspension?

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

You'll have to wait till the next bike episode for that

[@konradmoskal4138]

Where do I place potatoes in the housing?

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

You know the saying. Every hole's a goal.

What's the story with the rear leaf spring shackles - they look like they have round bar going up to the body...or are my eyes making stuff up - at 6:53? Part 2...

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

Your eyes are making stuff up. They're drop/revolver shackles. 80% gimmick but they let it drop this far

[@BenMitro]

@@ridiculousthings4x4 thanks!

[@raulbustamante8337]

I liked the video, but out of the subject: how do you like the parabolic springs now? I saw your installation video but I couldn't find one about your thoughts. Are they worth it? Is it ok to remove the overload leaf for under-GVM applications?

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

Hopefully this gives you closure kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX6nZKGqq7aNnZo

[@fatchunk3678]

Install error, would be a warranty if it’s under 5 years old and was installed by ARB

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

Yeup, completely right. Hard to prove anything though as it's before my ownership. Getting anyone to admit past mistakes is like getting water from a teenage boys special sock.

[@spudboy1328]

My mum couldn't do that. So not literally everybody. Just saying. How's the bike trip planning going?

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

Neither could mine. As of today, all I'm struggling with is transportation from Perth to Africa. Bike is complete and ready to go, but that's enough spoilers. Next episode incoming.

[@robbin4380]

M first

Potatoes are particularly useless, especially for presidential duties.

[@ridiculousthings4x4]

I've never heard of a president who wasn't a potato
